Rep. Matt Gaetz says he “personally apologized” to Michael Cohen for the threatening tweet that he fired off on Tuesday night — asking whether the former Trump lawyer’s wife knew about his “girlfriends” — ahead of his House Oversight Committee hearing.

“I’ve personally apologized to @MichaelCohen212 4 referencing his private family in the public square,” Gaetz tweeted Wednesday, just hours after the Cohen testimony.

“Regardless of disagreements, family members should be off-limits from attacks from representatives, senators & presidents, including myself,” he said. “Let’s leave the Cohen family alone.”

Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, has been trying his best to do damage control after receiving widespread backlash for the Cohen tweet, which he later deleted.

The congressman has issued several statements on what he said, as well as a public apology.

“I should have chosen words that better showed my intent,” he wrote in a tweet late Tuesday. “I’m sorry.”

Many people, including fellow lawmakers, suggested that Gaetz violated a federal statute against witness tampering and intimidation. The House Committee on Ethics says it’s investigating the matter.
