Prosecutors Wednesday released hundreds of pages of documents of evidence in the fraud case against former Florida GOP chair Jim Greer.

A couple highlights:

According to a female party official who spoke to investigators, Greer organized a men-only trip to the Bahamas with major donors and “women were involved and paid.” Gov. Charlie Crist, who was on the same trip and hand-picked Greer for the top GOP job in 2007, said today that the charge there were escorts or other paid women involved is “absurdly false.”

Separately, a onetime office manager at the Republican Party of Florida told investigators that Greer, who is accused of skimming party fundraising revenues, regularly doctored his credit-card receipts to obscure what he was buying.
