Matt Gaetz Spotted Reviewing...

Former Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, a staunch supporter of President
Trump and one-time nominee for U.S. Attorney General, was photographed on a
plane reviewing a lucrative contract for providing services, including
“administration-related guidance,” to a firm affiliated with the Florida
cannabis company Trulieve, The Daily Beast reports.

It’s not clear from the photos — which a passenger seated behind him
captured and then posted on social media — whether the document Gaetz was
reviewing was a formal offer or even a draft proposal that the
ex-congressman was working on for himself. The document, however, seemed to
contain a $250,000 payout for Gaetz if the issue “resolves,” although it’s
unclear what the “MATTER” refers to. Additionally, the document appeared to
include a $2,000,000 “additional ‘Super Success Fee,'” the report said.

The document references Trulieve by name, but it is misspelled “Truleive.”
Trulieve is the largest medical cannabis company in Florida and has spent
about $164 million on legalization efforts in the state, so far
unsuccessfully.

While Gaetz was reportedly unpopular in Congress, he still holds favor with
President Trump, who, after winning the presidency, nominated him to be
Attorney General. But Gaetz, who resigned from the House immediately after
receiving the nomination, withdrew his name from consideration amid
significant pushback from even those within the Republican party.

Representatives for neither Trulieve nor Gaetz have commented publicly on
the story, although Gaetz confirmed the photographs on X, writing that,
“Apparently someone sitting behind me on a flight recorded me without my
knowledge.”
