Brianna Garcia, a former Capitol Hill intern and Democrat campaigner, has been identified as the ex-girlfriend who testified in the now-closed investigation into allegations of sex trafficking against Matt Gaetz, according to the Daily Mail. In an unexpected twist, Garcia now publicly praises Gaetz and supports his nomination for Attorney General under President-elect Donald Trump.
Garcia, 28, was once considered a pivotal figure in the Justice Department’s politically charged investigation. The probe, launched during the waning days of the Trump administration under then-Attorney General Bill Barr, leaned heavily on testimony from former acquaintances of the Florida Republican. Despite the media frenzy and desperate attempts by Democrats to smear Gaetz, the investigation ultimately fizzled out, with no charges filed.
Speaking to Daily Mail, Garcia dismissed her involvement in the case as a relic of her past. “That’s like a past life now,” she said, holding her young child outside her Tampa waterfront apartment. Far from condemning Gaetz, she praised his intelligence and leadership. “He’ll be great for the country. Matt’s very smart,” she told the outlet, signaling a full-circle shift in her perspective.
The nomination of Gaetz for Attorney General by President-elect Trump last week sent shockwaves through Washington, particularly among Democrats, who have already begun sharpening their knives for the confirmation battle. Gaetz, an outspoken Trump ally and fierce critic of the left’s overreach, represents a significant departure from the bureaucratic status quo that has long plagued the Department of Justice.
As for Garcia, her glowing endorsement only adds to the momentum behind Gaetz. Her comments reflect a broader acknowledgment of his potential to restore accountability and integrity to the Justice Department—a stark contrast to the partisan weaponization of federal agencies under the Biden administration.
Trump’s decision to nominate Gaetz underscores his commitment to dismantling the establishment’s stranglehold on American institutions. By choosing a fighter like Gaetz, the president-elect is signaling a new era of justice reform, one that prioritizes the rule of law over partisan witch hunts.
The left may clutch its pearls and scream “controversy,” but that’s just another Tuesday in the world of MAGA leadership. Gaetz’s nomination is a bold move, one that exposes the Democrats’ inability to cope with a merit-based selection process. After years of turning the DOJ into a political cudgel, Democrats are terrified of a Gaetz-led Justice Department that would actually follow the law instead of inventing it on the fly. Trump’s nomination of Gaetz is exactly the kind of America-first decision this country needs to drain the swamp and end the era of politically motivated justice.
