's investigation of the congressman over sex trafficking allegations"should disgust every decent Floridian.", is the subject of an FBI investigation of allegations that he maintained a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paid her to travel with him. The allegations have not been proven and Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing, while pointing out that the accusation was part of a related alleged plot to extort his family.
"I feel it is time to begin a new path of service, one that will help restore dignity and honor to Florida's 1st District — because the people of this district are good, honest, hard-working people, and they deserve a congressman who reflects their values and who will fight for their beliefs and their freedoms," Jones told the paper in an interview published on Wednesday., not someone under investigation for crimes that should disgust every decent Floridian," he added.
Jones also blasted Gaetz as a"career politician" and said that the two-term congressman was"someone who wants to get on the media and be a talking head for their own glory and ego." Gaetz, who is a popular figure nationally among Trump loyalists, is likely to be a strong favorite in the primary and had already reportedly raised $1.4 million for his campaign by July.
In addition to bringing up the FBI investigation, Jones is campaigning partly on the fact that he, unlike Gaetz, is a veteran of the military. In addition, he separated himself from the incumbent by reportedly declaring that his political idol is former President Ronald Reagan, rather than Trump.Gaetz and his father in a plot related to the sex trafficking investigation.
Alford, who has pleaded not guilty, allegedly attempted to secure $25 million in exchange for a promise to obtain a presidential pardon from Trump that would shield Gaetz from any potential charges.
