The media outlet claims sources close to the probe say the federal agency is focused on Gaetz&#8217;s alleged involvement with multiple women. They were allegedly recruited online for sex in exchange for cash.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department inquiry is also said to involve whether Gaetz had sex with an underage 17-year-old girl.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY District 14) and Jamal Bowman (D-NY District 16) have called on the third-term governor to step down.
