A former adviser to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on April 5 said FBI agents recently approached him with allegations he knew to be false, causing him to believe that the recent claims against his ex-boss are also untrue.

Agents went to the home of Nathan Nelson on March 31 to question him about accusations against Gaetz, which reportedly include a claim that he paid for sex with a minor. But the agents asserted to Nelson they were told that he'd resigned from Gaetz’s office because of knowledge about wrongdoing.
