Joel Greenberg, a former Florida tax collector and one-time wingman for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), is regularly turning over information and potential evidence to federal investigators looking into whether Gaetz was involved in the sex trafficking of a minor, ABC News reports.
In May, Greenberg pleaded guilty to sex trafficking of a minor and several other federal crimes. He said he introduced the minor to other "adult men" who had sex with her, and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors investigating the matter. Several people familiar with the situation told ABC News that Greenberg has given investigators years of Venmo and Cash App transactions, thousands of photos and videos, and access to his personal social media accounts.
