Analysis: Rep. Matt Gaetz’s very witness-tamper-y Michael Cohen tweet
Rep. Matt Gaetz speaks during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence on Feb. 6. By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow February 26 at 6:07 PM A Republican member of Congress on Tuesday suggested without evidence that Michael Cohen engaged in affairs with multiple “girlfriends” and suggested his wife might cheat on him while he’s in prison — all on the eve of Cohen’s public testimony.
The key is that the intent needs to be to intimidate, threaten or “corruptly persuade” another person with the goal of influencing their testimony or preventing it altogether. As she noted, whatever the body of Trump’s tweets and public statements suggest as a whole, he often injects some ambiguity — i.e. by suggesting Cohen’s father-in-law should be investigated rather than outright accusing him of anything illegal.
