The House Ethics Committee obtained records, including a check and records of Venmo payments, that appear to show that then-Rep. Matt Gaetz paid more than $10,000 to two women who were later witnesses in sexual misconduct probes conducted by both the House and the Justice Department, according to documents obtained by ABC News.
The Venmo records show that between July 2017 and late January 2019, Gaetz -- who was first elected in 2016 -- allegedly made 27 Venmo payments totaling $10,224.02 to the two witnesses, who were over the age of 18 at the time.
The payments, which sources said were displayed during closed-door testimony, ranged from $100 to more than $700 each.
Documents show payment records obtained by the House Ethics Committee during its probe of Rep. Matt Gaetz.

ABC News previously reported that House investigators had subpoenaed Venmo for Gaetz's records and had been showing them to witnesses, asking if they were for sex or drugs. The Venmo records totaling over $10,000 in payments were shown to the witnesses, who testified that some of the payments were from Gaetz and were for sex, a source familiar with the investigation told ABC News.

"It does add up."
Put criminals in charge of justice is the GOP way. A dude who takes advantage of vulnerable young women/girls is MAGA material.
