The House Ethics Committee admonished Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., for a 2019 tweet against Michael Cohen that suggested the former attorney to President Trump was unfaithful to his wife and had "girlfriends." GAETZ CRUISES TO GOP PRIMARY WIN IN REELECTION BATTLE, SAYS 'VOTERS REWARD FIGHTERS'“The Ethics Committee has given me an admonishment," Gaetz said in a statement to Fox News. The ethics investigation didn’t find that Gaetz tampered or obstructed with a congressional witness, though. Gaetz deleted the original tweet directed at Cohen, in which he wrote: “Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? MATT GAETZ SAYS PROBE OF TWEET ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN SHOWS DEMS' 'DOUBLE STANDARD'"I want to say publicly what I've said privately to Michael Cohen and to his family, that I'm sorry," Gaetz said on Fox News March 1.
