“#Text messages that allegedly sparked Matt Gaetz probe emerge<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Text messages that allegedly sparked a federal sex crimes probe into Florida rep Matt Gaetz emerged Friday in a new report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They are purported to show that Gaetz was with Joel Greenberg, a Seminole County tax official who\u2019s under investigation for child sex trafficking, at the office he allegedly used to make fake IDs, the Daily Beast reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During a weekend in April 2018, Greenberg went to the Lake Mary, Florida arm of his tax collection agency with Gaetz, the outlet reported, citing sources and images of text messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Greenberg was spotted on grainy surveillance video standing near a manager\u2019s desk with another man, the outlet reported, citing three people with direct knowledge of the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the assistant branch manager arrived at the office the following Monday, she found drivers licenses, which are typically handed over to the tax office for shredding when they are expired, scattered all over a desk instead of in the app<\/a>ropriate disposal basket, the outlet said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The woman was surprised to see the state of the office, so she reviewed the camera footage, saw Greenberg and the other man he was with, and alerted her boss who then texted Greenberg about it., the outlet said. <\/p>\n

\u201cDid you happen to visit the Lake Mary Office on the weekend?\u201d an image of the text message, dated April 16, 2018 and obtained by the Daily Beast, reads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYes I was showing congressman Gaetz what our operation looked like. Did I leave something on?\u201d Greenberg allegedly responded, the image shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Greenberg is facing a 33-count indictment for a series<\/a> of crimes, including making fake IDs. <\/p>\n

The outlet obtained other images of text messages that purport to show Greenberg helping Gaetz, a longtime political ally, obtain duplicate IDs outside of proper channels on a Sunday afternoon in September.\u00a0It\u2019s unclear why Gaetz allegedly went to the office. <\/p>\n

On Sept. 2, 2018, images of text messages show Greenberg asked an employee to quickly make a new \u201cREAL ID,\u201d which complies with new, heightened security requirements and normally requires additional verification and documentation, the outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAmy- is there anyway to assist one of our Congressmen in getting an emergency replacement ID or DL by Tuesday 2pm? His was lost yesterday and he\u2019s got a flight Tuesday. Doesn\u2019t have any other form of ID currently on him. Sorry to bother you on Sunday,\u201d Greenberg allegedly wrote, the images show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then said the favor was for \u201cMatthew Louis Gaetz II,\u201d born on May 7, 1982, which is the congressman\u2019s birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Greenberg later became the subject of a federal investigation by the Secret Service for identity theft and stalking, agents spoke to employees who used to work at the tax office to get proof of the official\u2019s activities, which is when they were directed to Gaetz, the outlet said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the end of January 2020, the full text message conversation with Greenberg was provided to the Secret Service, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and recently, another federal agency, the outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the New York Times reported Gaetz is being probed by the Justice Department for allegedly paying a 17-year-old for sex and enticing her to travel<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gaetz has repeatedly and emphatically denied the allegations, saying they are nothing but an elaborate, extortion attempt.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
