>>> THE CLOCK IS TICKING IN THE PreserVision.
>>> THE CLOCK IS TICKING IN THE
SEX CRIMES PROBE INTO
CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ.
HES BEING INVESTIGATED FOR SEX
TRAFFICKING AND SEX WITH A
MINOR.
HIS INDICTED ALLY FACES A
DEADLINE FOR A PLEA DEAL.
GAETZ HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED WITH
ANY CRIMES.
THERE IS DISTURBING EVIDENCE.
THERE ARE SEVERAL WITNESSES.
THE FEDS HAVE BEEN PRESSURING
PEOPLE WITH DIRECT KNOWLEDGE
ABOUT GAETZ AND HIS ACTIVITIES.
"THE DAILY BEAST" REPORTED ON
THIS EXTENSIVELY.
WE WILL GET INTO SOME OF THAT.
THE BIGGEST POSSIBLE WITNESS IS
JOEL GREENBERG.
HIS CASE IS WHAT STARTED GAETZS
LEGAL PROBLEMS.
HE HAS UNTIL SATURDAY TO MAKE A
PLEA DEAL.
THATS WHY THIS IS IN THE NEWS
SO MUCH THIS WEEK.
TONIGHT THERE IS MORE NEWS AND
DISCUSSION AND DETAIL ABOUT THAT
ALLEGED BOMBSHELL CONFESSION
LETTER THAT HE WROTE REPORTEDLY.
GREENBERG SAID IN THE LETTER
THAT GAETZ PAID FOR SEX WITH
MULTIPLE WOMEN AS WELL AS A GIRL
WHO WAS 17 AT THE TIME.
I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I SAY EVERY
TIME WE DO THIS STORY.
NBC NEWS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO
OBTAIN THIS LETTER, SO WE CANT
BY DEFINITION VERIFY IT.
NOW "THE DAILY BEAST" IS ADDING
SOME MORE CONTEXT.
WE READ QUOTES FROM THEIR
REPORTING ON THE LETTER.
NOW SOME REPORTERS WHO HAVE BEEN
WORKING THIS STORY ENDED UP
READING ASPECTS OF THE LETTER,
SOME OF WHICH WE DIDNT KNOW
ABOUT WITH SOME DETAILS.
>> THIS IS GREENBERG SAYING:
DURING THE SUMMER OF 2017, I
INVITED A GROUP OF YOUNG LADIES,
MAINLY FROM THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY
TO ATTEND A GET-TOGETHER AT A
FRIENDS HOUSE WANTING THEM TO
MEET MY SINGLE FRIEND WHO WAS
ALSO A MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND
WAS BECOMING FAMOUS FOR HIS
FREQUENT APPEARANCES ON CABLE TV
NEWS SUCH AS FOX NEWS.
ALL THE GIRLS WERE EITHER
COLLEGE OR POST-COLLEGE.
IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR MYSELF
OR THE CONGRESSWOMAN TO HELP ANY
ONE OF THESE GIRLS FINANCIALLY,
WHETHER IT WAS A CAR PAYMENT OR
SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS HELPING
PAY A SPEEDING TICKET.
>> TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR, THE
VOICE YOU HEAR IS OF THE
REPORTER READING THE ALLEGED
LETTER.
SO WE DONT HAVE THE LETTER.
AND UNTIL THIS RECORDING, WE
DIDNT HAVE SOME OF THESE EXTRA
DETAILS.
NOW, IN THE READING OF THESE
NEWLY REVEALED DETAILS, WE HEAR
GREENBERG, READ BY THE REPORTER,
DROPPING A PRETTY DAMNING PART.
>> IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT ONE
OF THE GIRLS WHO HAD REPRESENTED
HERSELF TO BE 19 YEARS OLD AND
WAS DUE TO MOVE TO TEXAS THAT
UPCOMING AUGUST TO ATTEND
COLLEGE WAS IN FACT 17 YEARS
OLD, ROUGHLY FIVE MONTHS SHY OF
HER 18th BIRTHDY.
SHE HAD A FAKE ID.
HER BEST FRIENDS WERE ALL IN
COLLEGE AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY
NO WAY A REASONABLE COULD KNOW
THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS NOT 18.
THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS INVOLVED IN
SEXUAL ACTIVITIES WITH SEVERAL
OF THE OTHER GIRLS.
THE CONGRESSMAN FROM FLORIDAS
FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AND
MYSELF.
I DID SEE THE ACTS OCCUR
FIRSTHAND AND VENMO TRANSACTIONS
AND OTHER PAYMENTS WERE MADE TO
THESE GIRLS ON BEHALF OF THE
CONGRESSMAN.
>> THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I WANTED TO BE AS PRECISE AS
POSSIBLE WITH VIEWERS AND LISTENERS BECAUSE WE HAD QUOTES
LISTENERS BECAUSE WE HAD QUOTES
FROM THE LETTER.
IF THE LETTER TURNS OUT TO BE
LEGITIMATE, OF COURSE THEY HAVE
HAD THE ENTIRE THING THE WHOLE
TIME.
LEGALLY WHAT DO YOU SEE, IF
ANYTHING, FROM THESE NEW ALLEGED
DETAILS?
>> WELL, IF GREENBERG MAKES A
PLEA DEAL BY SATURDAY, WE HAVE
SEX TRAFFICKING OF A MINOR
THATS ACTUALLY WE HAVE AN EYE
WITNESS.
ITS FUNNY THAT HE TALKS ABOUT
FAKE IDs BECAUSE HES CHARGED
WITH AGGRAVATED ID SHIFT FOR
GIVING FAKE IDs.
IN FACT, "VANITY FAIR" IS
REPORTING THAT HE MADE FAKE IDs
TO FACILITATE COMMERCIAL SEX,
THAT THATS ONE OF THE ASPECTS
OF THE INVESTIGATION.
SO YOU KNOW THIS VERY PREDATORY
BEHAVIOR FROM MEN IN THEIR LATE
30s TOWARDS VERY YOUNG WOMEN,
COLLEGE AGED, RIGHT OUT OF HIGH
SCHOOL USING POWER AND WEALTH.
AND "THE DAILY BEAST" WENT ON TO
SPEAK TO 12 OF THE WOMEN THAT
GREENBERG PAID, AND THEY TALKED
ABOUT BEING PRESSURED TO DO
DRUGS, PRESSURED TO TAKE FAKE
IDs, PRESSURED TO ENGAGE IN GROUP SEX.
GROUP SEX.
I MEAN, THIS IS EPSTEIN-LEVEL
PREDATORY SEXUAL BEHAVIOR.
AND THE NEXT PIECE THEYRE
LOOKING AT GAETZS FORMER
GIRLFRIEND AS POSSIBLY A
COOPERATING WITNESS.
SHE BECAME HIS GIRLFRIEND WHILE
SHE WAS AN INTERN, ALSO A
COLLEGE-AGE GIRL IN CONGRESS.
SHE WAS ON THE FAMOUS BAHAMAS
TRIP WHERE THE 17-YEAR-OLD WAS
THERE ALONG WITH MANY YOUNG
GIRLS AND THE GUY WHO WANTS TO
BE THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA CZAR OF
FLORIDA WHICH RAISES AN
UNBELIEVABLE NUMBER OF ETHICAL
AND LEGAL QUESTIONS ABOUT GAETZ.
HES BASICALLY, YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT GIULIANI.
GAETZ IS LIKE A LAWYERS WORST
NIGHTMARE.
HES OUT THERE BEING A LOUD
MOUTH SAYING THINGS ON TUCKER
CARLSON, WELL, YOU MET THE GIRL.
YOU MET THE WOMAN.
TUCKER CARLSON OF COURSE SAYS
NO.
AND THERE IS THIS ARROGANT RICH
BOY FRAT CULTURE.
HES IN CONGRESS SHOWING NUDE
PICTURES OF YOUNG GIRLS TO OTHER
CONGRESS PEOPLE, AND HES NOT
ALWAYS TRUTHFUL.
HES TELLING LIES ABOUT THE
ELECTION.
HES TELLING LIES ABOUT THE DEEP
STATE.
THIS INVESTIGATION STARTED
DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
UNDER AG BARR, AND HE HAS HIRED
