Michael Cohen Admits He Was Pressured to Lie in Case Against President Trump
President Trump was forced to appear in totally corrupt Judge Merchan’s court in New York based on lies and false charges. The key witness was Michael Cohen. Attorney Alan Dershowitz was there and shared his observations at the time:

It got worse as we reported at the time. Dershowitz was there in the courtroom when corrupt and biased Judge Merchan, who is trying to put President Trump in prison, blew his top because the judge’s star witness was a trainwreck. Dershowitz shared:
…But in my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the one I observed sitting in the front row of the courthouse yesterday.
The judge in Donald Trump’s trial was an absolute tyrant, though he appeared to the jury to be a benevolent despot. He seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every turn.
Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense, while including irrelevant evidence offered by the prosecution.
But when the defense’s only substantive witness, the experienced attorney Robert Costello, raised his eyebrows at one of New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s rulings, the court went berserk.
Losing his cool and showing his thin skin, the judge cleared the courtroom of everyone including the media.
For some reason, I was allowed to stay, and I observed one of the most remarkable wrong-headed biases I have ever seen. The judge actually threatened to strike all of Costello’s testimony if he raised his eyebrows again.
That of course would have been unconstitutional because it would have denied the defendant his Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses and to raise a defense.
Recently, Cohen has come out and admitted that he was pressured to make his statements about events in the case that were lies. President Trump shared on Truth Social:
I am pleased to report that Michael Cohen, the Prosecution’s Star Witness and, in actuality, only Witness in the New York State Attorney General and Manhattan DA Witch Hunt Cases brought against me, has just fully RECANTED his testimony. He was “pressured” and “coerced” to say things that were not true. I would like to thank Michael for having the Wisdom and Courage to step forward and do the right thing! His Act of Bravery is a Great Credit to the Justice System in New York City and State. I am sure it was not easy for him! Now we are asking that any remnant of those Politically Weaponized Cases against me be immediately terminated and dismissed. Their Star Witness said everything they did was WRONG and UNLAWFUL! Letitia James and Alvin Bragg broke the Law in order to do this in order to prevent me from becoming the President of the United States. Such a thing can never be allowed to happen again! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Here is more on the matter:
Michael Cohen FULLY RECANTED his testimony! He admitted Tish James and Alvin Bragg pressured him to lie.
This entire witch hunt against President Trump was a total lie and weaponized corrupt garbage.
DISMISS THE CASES NOW! Complete vindication for Trump! 🇺🇸🔥…— Ryan Fournier (@RyanAFournier) September 4, 2026
This still does not diminish Cohen as a rat with no cojones. He had a choice.
