Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., was observed discussing his threatening tweet about Michael Cohen with President Trump Wednesday evening.
According to Edward-Isaac Dovere, a staff writer at the Atlantic, Gaetz spoke to the president, who was in Hanoi, Vietnam for talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, over the phone.
“I was happy to do it for you. You just keep killing it,” Gaetz was overhead saying.
President Trump called @mattgaetz last night from Hanoi to talk the Cohen testimony and the threats (since rescinded) Gaetz made about Cohen.
"I was happy to do it for you. You just keep killing it," Gaetz was heard telling him.

A Gaetz spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment. The congressman told Dovere that he doesn’t discuss his conversations with the president.
Gaetz responded to Dovere, calling it fake news.
