GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz Deletes Tweet Threatening Michael Cohen, Apologizes

Rep. Matt Gaetz tweeted a message to Michael Cohen on Tuesday, asking Donald Trump‘s former attorney and “fixer” if his wife and father-in-law were aware of his girlfriends. Gaetz went on to say how it might “be a good time for that chat,” adding how he wondered if Cohen’s wife will “remain faithful when [Cohen’s] in prison.” The Florida representative offered no proof for his allegations of Cohen’s adultery.

Gaetz’s tweet received a lot of criticism, many arguing it was a threat against Cohen, who was set to testify before Congress the following day. Sources claimed Cohen’s testimony and the documents he presents would affirm that Trump knowingly performed “illicit” acts.
