The US Department of Justice is investigating a possible sexual relationship between Republican Representative for Florida Matt Gaetz and a 17-year-old girl. Gaetz denied information that linked him to this cause, following a publication in The New York Times. In an interview with the Fox network, the congressman said that he has been extorted by a former official of the Department of Justice who asks him for US $ 25 million not to uncover this alleged sexual relationship and that both he and his family are collaborating with federal authorities to clarify the facts. The former official has denied any attempt to extort or have anything to do with the investigation.
