Gaetz Apologized to Cohen for Threatening Tweet

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) texted Michael Cohen after his congressional testimony last week, apologizing for a threatening tweet he posted before the hearing, Vanity Fair reports.

Said Gaetz: “Mr. Cohen, this is Congressman Matt Gaetz. I am writing to personally tell you I’m sorry for the tweet that I sent which many believe was threatening to you. It was never ever ever my intent to threaten you in any way.”

He added: “While you don’t know me, that is not who I am and how I operate. I do not wish any harm to you or your family. I was upset at what was transpiring and chose my words poorly. I will work to be better, as I know you said today you will as well. Have a good evening.”
