It Was a SET UP': Trump Goes Off After Michael Cohen Claims He Felt Coerced' In Fraud Cases
"I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government's desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump. Cohen clarified that his revelation was not meant to defend Donald Trump, nor to relitigate his conduct. You may reasonably ask why I am speaking out now. The answer is simple, he wrote."
"These horrible Radical Left people, doing everything possible to destroy our Country, should pay a big price for this! It was a SET UP from the beginning. New York Courts, with many fair and wonderful Judges, are embarrassed by what has happened! We cannot let this pass. In September, Trump pushed Attorney General Pam Bondi to go after James on charges of mortgage fraud. A U.S. District Court judge dismissed the case, ruling that Trump's handpicked U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed."
Michael Cohen said he felt pressured and coerced to provide information and testimony to satisfy prosecutors' desire to build cases and secure judgments and convictions against Donald Trump. Cohen served as a key witness in a 2023 civil suit by New York Attorney General Letitia James alleging fraudulent inflation of business assets and in a 2024 criminal hush-money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg related to Stormy Daniels. Trump lost both cases; the civil verdict was overturned on appeal over a $454 million fine, and the hush-money verdict is under reconsideration by a lower court. Trump denied the allegations, called the matters a setup, attacked the "Radical Left," and pursued action against James that was later dismissed over an unlawfully appointed U.S. Attorney.
