Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz has spent nearly $200,000 in taxpayer funds renting an office from a longtime friend, adviser, campaign donor and legal client
.
Merrill said in an interview that Gaetz approached him saying he wanted to rent space in his building. Merrill then dispatched his leasing director to give Gaetz’s staff a “range to see what they can get” and the private negotiation yielded a price in the middle. Gaetz — a close ally of President Donald Trump — has been outspoken in recent weeks about ethics controversies involving Sen. Richard Burr . He called Burr to resign after news reports revealed the North Carolina senator dumped a large chunk of a stock portfolio after a classified briefing on the coronavirus. Burr also sold his Washington home to a lobbyist at a price that some real estate consultants cited in the story characterized as above market price.
