‚I was happy to do it for you’


Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., was observed discussing his threatening tweet about Michael Cohen with President Trump Wednesday evening.

According to Edward-Isaac Dovere, a staff writer at the Atlantic, Gaetz spoke to the president, who was in Hanoi, Vietnam for talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, over the phone.

„I was happy to do it for you. You just keep killing it,” Gaetz was overhead saying.

A Gaetz spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment. The congressman told Dovere that he doesn’t discuss his conversations with the president.

Gaetz responded to Dovere, calling it fake news.

The night before Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, Gaetz asked Cohen on Twitter, „Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she’ll remain faithful when you’re in prison. She’s about to learn a lot…”

Gaetz later deleted the tweet and apologized for comments many regarded as threatening to Cohen. Gaetz’s apology came in response to a statement from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., admonishing Gaetz for his comments and suggested they be examined by the House Ethics Committee.

During the hearing, which Gaetz attended although he is not a member of the oversight panel, it was reported that the congressman became the subject of a probe into his tweets about Cohen by the Florida state bar.

In the evening Wednesday, Gaetz tweeted that he apologized to Cohen. „Regardless of disagreements, family members should be off-limits from attacks from representatives, senators & presidents, including myself. Let’s leave the Cohen family alone,” he said.

Cannabis to be used as treatment for dementia symptoms in new UK trial

Scientist hypothesize that Sativex, a cannabinoid-containing mouth spray that tastes like mint, may be helpful in the reduction of symptoms such as aggression, agitation and paranoia. Researchers at King’s College London have announced that cannabis will be used as an experimental treatment for the symptoms of dementia, in what will be the first major UK clinical trial to treat the disease with the drug. 60 volunteer patients that display symptoms of dementia and Alzhemier’s are to be recruited, with results of cannabis treatment compared to those of a placebo. Most patients will be elderly people who live in nursing or assisted living homes, and all will be between 55 and 90 years old.

Foreldrene til den døde IS-krigeren Bastian Vasquez snakker for første gang ut om mediepresset de opplevde da sønnen sluttet seg til jihadistgruppen. Foreldrene var gjester under fredagens «Late Night Show» på SKUP-konferansen, skriver Medier24 . Der fortalte de om presset de ble utsatt for da sønnen dukket opp i en IS-propagandavideo i Syria i 2014. Norsk-chileneren reiste til landet to år tidligere, etter å ha vært medlem av Profetens Ummah i Oslo. «Slik ble han alles fiende» lød ett av oppslagene i norske aviser. – Jeg vil snakke til alle dere journalister. Det er mye som er sagt og skrevet om vår sønn, og han blir framstilt som et monster. Han er ikke det. Bastian var kjærlig. Noen av dere skrev veldig mye vondt. Makten deres er enorm. Hvem kontrollerer makten dere har? Dere kan knekke en person. Vi som familie ble knekt, sa faren foran pressen. Rundt samme periode ble farens andre sønn oppringt av en journalist som spurte om det stemte at Vasquez var drept. Broren ble rystet...

Forever Daddy’s Girl.” “I feel that what he did with his fame as far as his camps and training and work with his daughter and other young people was pretty awesome especially that he died in that service,” Muck told CNN on Monday. Muck said she was already on her way to paint a mural of Bryant when she heard about Gianna’s death and “felt it was important to include her.” Public memorials honoring the father and daughter appeared across the Los Angeles area and even on the other side of the world.
