The House Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz for his tweet targeting Michael Cohen ahead of his public testimony before Congress in February, the panel announced Friday, after Gaetz declined to sit for an interview with the committee.
The congressman, who apologized for the tweet in public and in a text message to Cohen, dismissed the news of the investigation Friday afternoon. Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., asked the House panel to investigate the matter in February, arguing that the message constituted witness tampering. The subcommittee, led by Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Md. ,will have the ability to issue subpoenas in its investigation, and will eventually recommend a course of action to the full panel for consideration.
