Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz faces continued scrutiny over a tweet about Michael Cohen he posted in late February that was widely perceived as witness tampering.
Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz is facing continued scrutiny over a tweet he posted in late February that was widely perceived as witness tampering, after the Florida Bar on Wednesday signaled that the allegations warrant further proceedings and announced that it would continue investigating the congressman.
On Wednesday, a Gaetz spokeswoman noted that “Congressman Gaetz remains confident that the Florida Bar will not impair his vigorous and successful representation of his district.” Asked for any proof about his allegations against Cohen, Gaetz told ABC News"tune in tomorrow and find out." Gaetz is not a member of the House Oversight Committee, which questioned Cohen the next day in his first public hearing.
Speaker, I want to get the truth too. While it is important 2 create context around the testimony of liars like Michael Cohen, it was NOT my intent to threaten, as some believe I did. I’m deleting the tweet & I should have chosen words that better showed my intent. I’m sorry. https://t.co/Rdbw3sTQJDCohen, a longtime Trump Organization employee, pleaded guilty to lying to Congress as well as financial crimes including bank and tax fraud late last year.
