Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Tuesday asked if President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen’s wife knew about Cohen’s infidelity.
The Trump loyalist directed the tweet at the president’s former personal attorney the day before Cohen is scheduled to testify publicly before the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
The Florida Republican also questioned whether Cohen’s wife would stay faithful while Cohen is in prison.
“Hey @MichaelCohen212 – Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends?” The lawmaker tweeted. “Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she’ll remain faithful when you’re in prison. She’s about to learn a lot…”

Cohen on Tuesday spoke privately with the Senate Intelligence Committee ahead of his public testimony on Wednesday, which coincides with the president’s first day of meetings in Vietnam with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

I'd tell you to take this tweet down, but TBH I think it's a great legacy item for you. https://t.co/72aZmQ7qip

Let me put it this way: if one of my clients made a statement to a witness like @mattgaetz did, I'd be telling them to board their dogs so they don't get shot when the arrest team shows up.

Jerk.
Asked whether his tweet attacking Michael Cohen should be perceived as a threat, Rep. Matt Gaetz told reporters, "Absolutely not. We’re witness testing not witness tampering." https://t.co/Qg1JcOm5Jh pic.twitter.com/YfBC2weUCC

/2 It sure seems like you're threatening Michael Cohen that if he testifies before Congress you, or people aligned with you, will bring out embarrassing details about him. pic.twitter.com/6nZpuPaRZt
