Trump says he would consider pardon for former fixer Michael Cohen
Trump said he would consider a pardon if Michael Cohen’s account checks out, after Cohen later said his testimony was truthful, Mediaite’s Dan Abrams said.
- President Donald Trump said he would consider pardoning his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, who is seeking clemency after previously serving more than a year in prison.
- Cohen was sentenced in 2018 after pleading guilty to charges including arranging a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, tax offenses and lying to Congress.
- Cohen later became a key prosecution witness in Trump’s 2024 New York criminal case, which resulted in Trump being convicted on 34 counts related to falsifying business records over the Daniels payment.
- Trump said Cohen had recently sought to correct his earlier statements and suggested a pardon could be considered if the facts support it, while Cohen has reportedly expressed uncertainty about whether Trump will actually grant him clemency.
