The Week: GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz might be disbarred for threatening Michael Cohen
The Florida Bar on Wednesday opened an investigation into the tweet posted on Tuesday by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), in which he appeared to threaten Michael Cohen.
A Florida Bar spokeswoman said of the tweet, “If rules have been violated, the Florida Bar will vigorously pursue appropriate discipline by the Florida Supreme Court.”
I’ve personally apologized to @MichaelCohen212 4 referencing his private family in the public square. Regardless of disagreements, family members should be off-limits from attacks from representatives, senators & presidents, including myself. Let’s leave the Cohen family alone.
