Rep. Matt Gaetz has apologized for going after Michael Cohen ahead of his testimony before the House Oversight Committee — insisting that he did not intend to threaten President Trump’s former lawyer.

The Florida Republican deleted a tweet in which he suggested that Cohen had not been faithful to his wife and questioned whether she would be faithful to him during his three-year prison stint.

“While it is important 2 create context around the testimony of liars like Michael Cohen, it was NOT my intent to threaten, as some believe I did,” Gaetz tweeted late Tuesday.

“I’m deleting the tweet & I should have chosen words that better showed my intent. I’m sorry,” the staunch Trump supporter added.

His mea culpa came in response to a statement from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who noted that lawmakers’ statements “can adversely affect the ability of House Committees to obtain the truthful and complete information necessary to fulfill their duties.”

On Tuesday, Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY) sent an official request to the chairman of the House Ethics Committee asking for an investigation into Gaetz.

She suggested that his tweet may have violated a federal statute against witness tampering and intimidation.

“After the House Committee on Ethics thoroughly investigates this matter, I urge you to make any and all appropriate referrals to DOJ,” Rice wrote.
