Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz spent almost $200,000 in taxpayer funds to rent office space from a longtime friend and campaign donor, Politico reported.
Gaetz and Merrill initially told Politico in separate interviews that the Republican congressman paid below market rent for the office space, which is more than 3,000 square feet. Gaetz later backtracked and said his rent was "at or below market rate." Gaetz made headlines in recent weeks for his sharp criticism of ethics controversies related to North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr.
"@SenatorBurr stays as Intelligence Chairman after screwing all Americans by falsely reassuring us w opeds on #COVID while he dumped his stock portfolio early. This is not fair," Gaetz added.
GOP, Any comment? This okay with you?
MAY have another bs hit piece
ReviewResist You used to get in trouble for stuff like this, now nothing matters. Insider trading, shady deals, it’s all permissible as long as you have an “R” next to your name 🤬
