Judge agrees to delay sentencing of former Gaetz associate as cooperation continues

A judge has agreed to delay the sentencing of former Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg as Greenberg cooperates with the probe into Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz.

A federal judge in Central Florida has granted a request from attorneys representing Joel Greenberg, the former tax collector of Seminole County, to delay his sentencing after prosecutors said Greenberg was providing investigators more information about his activities in relation to an ongoing federal probe.

As part of a federal investigation into Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Greenberg -- Gaetz's self-described one-time wingman -- has been steadily providing information and handing over potential evidence that could relate to the Florida congressman and others in the sprawling probe, sources familiar with the investigation have previously told ABC News.

Judge Gregory A. Presnell granted the motion to delay Greenberg's sentencing, but told Greenberg's lawyers and the government that this would be the final extension.

"I'll grant the motion, but absent something really extraordinary, this is the deadline we have to meet," the judge said.
