Rep. Matt Gaetz faces Florida Bar probe because of tweet at ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen

Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida is under investigation by his state's lawyer oversight group for a potentially threatening tweet that the Republican congressman directed at President Donald Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen. The Florida Bar's probe came to light as Rep. Stacey Plaskett suggested that Gaetz be referred for his tweet for possible discipline by the House Ethics Committee for "witness intimidation and tampering," and that he might face criminal prosecution for the tweet.
