For $500, fans can hire the 42-year-old former Florida congressman to create a personal video through the website.

“I know you’re bummed out I’m not going to be taking out garbage at the Department of Justice, but don’t despair. We’ve got an awesome attorney general coming in,” Gaetz said on an example “holiday” video for a customer named Peter.

In another “gift” video for a woman who just made partner in a law firm, Gaetz congratulates and encourages her while acknowledging, “My legal career took a little bit of a different turn this last week.”

On Thursday, Gaetz bowed out of consideration for Trump’s Cabinet, saying his confirmation as attorney general had become “a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance transition” following allegations he paid women for sex and had sex with a minor.

Gaetz has vehemently denied the accusations, and a Justice Department investigation concluded without charges being filed.

Gaetz joins several other disgraced politicians who joined Cameo in recent years to remain in the public eye. Former Trump attorney and New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani joined in 2021.

Former U.S. Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., joined the site last December following his expulsion from the House for financial wrongdoing, billing himself as a “former Congressional icon” and charging $250 for videos that can be turned around in 24 hours.
