Everything that Donald Trump touches dies. And remember what I said in a prior video. In moments of chaos, you'll find opportunity to expose Donald Trump and this MAGA madness. We're seeing that right now with his appointment of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General. As the investigation into Matt Gates is being made more public through leaks. One of the things we are now learning per ABC is that Matt Gaetz would take the underage girls, get this to Fox in New York. He would fly underage girls to watch him do interviews at Fox. Then he would take the young girls to Broadway plays like the play Pretty Woman about a businessman who falls in love with a prostitute. This is what ABC is reporting. Also, one of the lawyers for the girls who are the victims of ma, Matt Gates was speaking out on CNN as well. Now put this all together. Do you remember back we reported on this then think about the links here. March 30th of 2021, when Tucker Carlson was still a host at Fox at that time. Remember when Matt Gates implicated Tucker Carlson in his underage girl trafficking? A matter of investigation. Do you remember that? Remember he went on, Tucker, remember what happened here, watch this.

And I only know what I've read in the New York Times. I can say that actually you and I went to dinner about two years ago. Your wife was there and I brought a friend of mine, you'll remember her. And she was actually threatened by the FBI, told that if she wouldn't cop to the fact that somehow I was involved in some pay for play scheme, that she could face trouble. And so I do believe that there are people at the Department of Justice who are trying to smear me. Providing for flights and hotel rooms for people that you're dating who are of legal age is not a crime. And I'm just troubled that the lack of any sort of legitimate investigation into me would then permute, would then convert into this extortion attempt.
Tucker Carlson (2:21)
I don't remember the woman you're speaking of or the context at all, honestly, but I.

You saw Tucker's reaction right there, right? This is from the interview as well. Let's play it.
Tucker Carlson (2:32)
Congressman, thanks so much for coming on. I appreciate it. So this is obviously a serious allegation. Tell us what the truth is from your perspective.
Matt Gaetz (2:42)
It is a horrible allegation and it is a lie. The New York Times is running a story that I have traveled with a 17 year old woman and that is verifiably false. People can look at my travel records and see that that is not the case. What is happening is an Extortion of me and my family involving a former Department of justice official. On March 16, my father got a text message demanding a meeting wherein a person demanded $25 million in exchange for making horrible sex trafficking allegations against me. Go away. Our family was so troubled by that, we went to the local FBI, and the FBI and the Department of Justice were so concerned about this attempted extortion of a member of Congress that they asked my dad to wear a wire, which he did with the former Department of Justice official. Tonight, I am demanding that the Department of Justice and the FBI release the audio recordings that were made under their supervision and at their direction, which will prove my innocence. And that will show that these allegations aren't true. They're merely intended to try to bleed my family out of money.
