" "I don't know if Mike Pence will run for president in 2024, but I don't think Matt Gaetz will have an impact on that — in fact, I'd be surprised if he's still voting. It's more likely that he'll be in prison for child sex trafficking by 2024, and I'm actually surprised that Florida law enforcement still allows him to speak to teenage conferences like that.
Matthew Louis Gaetz II (born May 7, 1982) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the U.S. representative for Florida's 1st congressional district from 2017 to 2024. A member of the Republican Party, he is widely regarded as a staunch proponent of far-right politics as well as an ally of Donald Trump. In 2023, he filed a motion which led to the dismissal of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. As president-elect in November 2024, Donald Trump intended to nominate Gaetz as attorney general in his new administration, but Gaetz soon withdrew over multiple accusations concerning his past behavior.

Since "The Times" published the story, Congressman Gaetz has put out a public statement denying all the allegations. He is now just in the last hour or so done an interview on the Fox News Channel in which he claims he is not only innocent, but this is part of an elaborate extortion plot targeting his father and trying to get money from his very wealthy family. Also something about a plot to get him a pardon from President Biden.
