Alleged Matt Gaetz extortion plot involved orgy, US hostage — and $25 million: report

The alleged extortion plot against Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz apparently involved two men blackmailing him with details about an alleged orgy with prostitutes in an effort to get his dad to cough up $25 million to help rescue American hostage Robert Levinson from Iran, according to reports on Wednesday.

The men, former federal prosecutor David McGee and ex-Air Force intelligence officer Bob Kent, allegedly claimed that the FBI had photos of Gaetz in a “sexual orgy with underage prostitutes,” the Washington Examiner reported. They asked his dad, Don Gaetz, for money to be used to free Levinson — in exchange for somehow getting the Department of Justice to drop its reported sex trafficking probe into the lawmaker, according to the Examiner.
