US EditionMichael Cohen says NY prosecutors 'pressured and coerced' him into anti-Trump testimony
Michael Cohen claims pressure from New York prosecutors shaped his testimony to secure convictions against Trump in hush-money and civil fraud cases.
- On Friday, Michael Cohen, former personal lawyer to President Donald Trump, said prosecutors pressured and coerced him into testimony tailored to convict Trump in a Substack post.
- Cohen said he first met prosecutors during his federal prison term and sought a Rule 35 motion, citing `Letitia James made it publicly known during her 2018 campaign for attorney general that, if elected, she would go after President Trump`.
- Prosecutors frequently asked inappropriate leading questions, and government lawyers positioned Cohen as a key witness in both the civil fraud case and hush-money prosecution.
- A three-judge appellate panel recently instructed U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein to review his earlier ruling, and the hush-money case is being reconsidered by a lower court.
- That procedural review ties to the Supreme Court presidential-immunity ruling and Cohen noted the $454 million civil penalty was overturned, highlighting procedural stakes and institutional credibility.
