- Former Rep. Matt Gaetz facing additional sex trafficking allegations
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz is facing additional allegations of sex trafficking by two women who filed a civil lawsuit against him and two other men in federal court Thursday. The women, identified as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, are accusing Gaetz, former Florida state Rep. Chris Dorworth and Joel Greenberg, a former tax collector in Florida’s Seminole County, of “recruitment and sexual exploitation” from 2017 through January 2019. They allege Gaetz and Greenberg, who is serving an 11-year federal prison sentence in Florida on sex trafficking and fraud convictions, “coordinated the recruitment, payments, drugs, and travel to obtain commercial sexual acts from young women,” and accuse Dorworth of “knowingly” participating. The 38-page complaint, filed in the Middle District Court of Florida, describes the defendants as “men of power, wealth, and privilege who used their positions not to protect the vulnerable but to prey upon them.” The suit also names as defendants three dental companies that appear to be affiliated with Greenberg, which it says “supplied the money that funded these illicit acts.” The plaintiffs are suing under federal laws aimed at combatting sex trafficking and are demanding a jury trial. In a statement provided to the Miami Herald, which first reported the news on Thursday, Gaetz called the allegations “false,” and added that the lawsuit “relies almost exclusively on a Congressional Committee report that didn’t allow me to confront my accusers. Now I will finally have that chance.” Gaetz abruptly resigned from Congress in November 2024, when then-President-elect Donald Trump announced he would nominate him for attorney general. But Gaetz withdrew from consideration for that position after facing mounting scrutiny over sex trafficking allegations, which he denied. Since then, he has worked as a host at the right-wing One America News Network. This is a developing story. Check back for updates. Lisa Rubin contributed to this report. The post Former Rep.

Régis Le Bris is donning something of a pre-season vibe – t-shirt and trackies – in the Sunderland dugout. Continue reading...

It’s very nice.” With Trump generally limiting his audiences to his own supporters, this seemed like an odd thing to say aloud. Nevertheless, he kept this going two days later, headlining a campaign rally in Tennessee on Saturday, where he told attendees, “It’s amazing. When you stand up here, it’s just like, the love. I could say the stupidest things and you’d clap.” For the record: Upon hearing this, some of his supporters did, in fact, clap. But in case that weren’t quite enough, on Wednesday afternoon in Arizona, the president appeared to insult his followers yet again. Trump: "It's called a coganative [sic] test. It's a very standard test, but very tough. There are few people in this audience that can — once you get past the first question. They show you a lion, a bear, a giraffe, and a snake and they say, 'Which one is the lion?' Biden was unable to answer that"— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-10-14T21:40:13.012Z As part of an unscripted riff on how smart Trump thinks he is, he told attendees about his experiences with taking cognitive tests, declaring, “It’s a very standard test, but very tough.” He quickly added, “There are few people in this audience that can …” though he interrupted himself before finishing the sentence. The president proceeded to say that to answer the questions toward the end, “you have to be very, very smart.” Trump went on to boast that doctors were so impressed with his aptitude that they said, “Holy s—, nobody can do that.” But according to the president, he did it anyway, because he’s “a freaking genius.” So, two things. First, Trump has long struggled to understand the point of these tests. They’re not exams used to measure intelligence, despite his incessant claims to the contrary. Rather, these tests are used to identify dementia, mental deterioration and neurodegenerative diseases. Those who do well are clearing a low bar, and are not necessarily “freaking geniuses.” The fact that he found them “very tough” is itself an unsettling sign, especially amid broader concerns about his mental fitness. Second, Trump’s supporters should probably take… [TheTopNews] Read More.16 mins ago
