A former Air Force officer accused of being involved in an alleged extortion racket against the family of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) denied the accusations on Monday.

Bob Kent said he did take part in an effort to solicit $25 million from Gaetz’s father, former Florida state Sen. Don Gaetz, but denied that the effort was extortion.
