NEW: The Justice Department’s sex trafficking investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz seems to have stalled, attorneys say.
At least one more friend of Greenberg’s is likely facing federal fraud charges, according to Greenberg’s fourth and final indictment issued March 30, 2021. None of those indictments show a link to Gaetz or suggest his involvement.
“Greenberg is a prolific criminal. His story is going to be in criminology textbooks one day,” Bear said. None of the women have been charged with a crime, but lawyers in the case are divided over whether some of the women could be charged with sex-trafficking the alleged victim, too, if evidence emerged they engaged in group sex with her.
“I’m not surprised prosecutors won’t move forward with the case against Matt because it’s built on lies and Joel Greenberg is the biggest piece of lying garbage trash I’ve ever seen in my life,” Dorworth told NBC News, previewing what would be his testimony for Gaetz’s defense if he were ever charged.Scheller, Greenberg's attorney, said in response to Dorworth's allegations: “In any case, the credibility of witnesses is always at issue.
The messages show Greenberg said he was paying for the lawyer for the minor whom he later pleaded guilty to trafficking and said that “she doesn’t want to talk to” the FBI. Also, Greenberg said, the “link” between himself and the minor was money he paid her via a banking app.Dorworth has not been charged with a crime.” obtained by The Daily Beast, Greenberg wrote there was no direct payment between Gaetz and the 17-year-old. Instead, he wrote, he was the go-between who collected the cash.
Another attorney in the case said the Justice Department is aware of the political complications around the investigation.
