The campaign committee for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has enlisted a crew of prominent Trumpworld figures as he seeks re-election amid scandal and possible legal jeopardy, records reviewed by Axios show.
Why it matters: For a Republican in a party still dominated by the former president, little conduct could surpass fealty to Donald Trump in the minds of GOP voters. Newly released financial records show Gaetz, a steadfast ally of the former president, is leaning into that reputation amid scrutiny of his personal life.
What s new: The Gaetz campaign committee s second-quarter filing with the Federal Election Commission shows sizable payments to a number of Trumpworld luminaries.
This is a very interesting exchange where Rep Gaetz outlines a timeline of engagement between a Chinese "whistleblower" and the FBI in the spring and summer of 2020.
