NEW YORK CITY CANDIDATE MAYA WILEY IS HERE TONIGHT ON THE EVE OF THIS RACE. EARLY VOTING ALREADY UNDERWAY. WE BEGIN WITH ESCALATION IN ANOTHER STORY, THE FEDERAL SEX CRIMES INVESTIGATION OF REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ OF FLORIDA. WE HAVE KNOWN HES UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR SEX TRAFFICKING AND POSSIBLY SEX WITH A MINOR. THESE ARE ISSUES HE DENIES. BUT TODAY, THE NEW UPDATE IS THERE ARE SIGNS THE CASE CONTINUES TO MOVE. PROSECUTORS BELIEVE A DECISION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT TO BRING CHARGES TO GAETZ COULD COME AS EARLY AS JULY. NOW, THAT IS REPORTING FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES TO ABC NEWS. OTHER WITNESSES ALSO SPEAKING OUT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. MEANING, THEYRE SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO THE FEDS. COULD BE BAD NEWS FOR ANYONE THEY HAVE EVIDENCE ON. THE INTERVIEWS INVOLVE MORE WOMEN WHO WERE ALLEGEDLY INTRODUCED TO GAETZ THROUGH GREENBERG GREENBERG, WHO IS NOW CONVICTED. AND, QUOTE, SINCE MAY, A NEW ROUND OF TARGET LETTERS AND SUBPOENAS IN THE WIDE RANGING INVESTIGATION HAVE BEEN SENT OUT. THIS COMES AFTER THAT GUILTY GAETZ ASSOCIATE WE JUST MENTIONED, GREENBERG, PLEADED GUILTY TO SIX FEDERAL CRIMES, INCLUDING SEX TRAFFICKING AND HAS BEEN COOPERATING. HES PREPARED TO HAND OVER EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY THAT COULD IMPLICATE GAETZ AND OTHERS. SOURCES TELL THAT SAME ABC NEWS TEAM. NOW, A GAETZ SPOKESPERSON IS RESPONDING DIRECTLY TO THIS NEW REPORT SAYING ITS ALL ABOUT, QUOTE, PARTISAN SMEAR JOB. YOU MAY NOTICE IN OUR REPORTING, AND I ALWAYS TRY TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH YOU, I KEEP SAYING ABC A LOT. THIS IS AN ABC NEWS STORY, TO CREDIT TO THEM AND IT IS ALSO ONE THAT ABC NEWS HAS BEEN ABLE TO MATCH OR FOLLOW UP ON. AND GAETZ NOT YET CHARGED WITH ANY WRONGDOING. >> IT IS A HORRIBLE ALLEGATION, AND IT IS A LIE. I SPENT MY ENTIRE CAREER PURSUING JUSTICE. I DONT OBSTRUCT JUSTICE. THE ONLY THING I HAVE OBSTRUCTED IS THE INJUSTICE OFTENTIMES AT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. THE THINGS THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT ME ARE LIES, AND THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL. >> DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE INDICTED? >> NO. >> WERE JOINED BY THE FLORIDA STATE ATTORNEY FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY AND MSNBC COLUMNIST LAURA BASSITT BASSITT. I CREDIT ABC. THEY HAVE THE REPORTING SUGGESTING PROBLEMS FOR GAETZ AND OTHERS AS I READ THEIR SOURCING AND IT SUGGESTS SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION, SOON. YOU ARE DOWN THERE. YOU HAVE BEEN AN ANALYST ON THESE STORIES BEFORE. DOES THAT RING TRUE TO YOU? >> IT DOES. IT IS WHAT I EXPECTED BECAUSE THIS INVESTIGATION SEEMS TO BE WRAPPING UP. THEY HAVE THE COOPERATION OF THE MAN AT THE CENTER OF THIS WHOLE THING, JOEL GREENBERG, ACCORDING TO, ALONG WITH REPORTS, COOPERATION WITH MATT GAETZS EX-GIRLFRIEND AND THE 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO ALLEGEDLY IS THE VICTIM OF CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING. IT IS IRONIC THAT IT IS THE PERSON WHO IS THE MOST CULPABLE WHO WILL GET THE BEST DEAL BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE MOST. THIS EXPLAINS WHY THINGS HAVE BEEN SO DELAYED, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT WHETHER MATT GAETZ HAD SEX WITH AN UNDERAGED GIRL. THIS IS A LOT BROADER THAN THAT. IT COULD INVOLVE THE MAN HACK, VIOLATIONS OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, WITNESS TAMPERING, IDENTITY THEFT. JOEL GREENBERG HAS ALREADY PLED GUILTY TO THAT. THATS WHY THIS HAS TAKEN SO LONG. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IF YOU INDICT A SITTING MEMBER OF CONGRESS, YOU NEED TO GET LOTS
