x/donald-john-trump
— Sep 9, 2026
President Donald Trump said he would consider a pardon for Michael Cohen, who is seeking clemency after pleading guilty to tax and related charges and whose testimony helped convict Trump in 2024; Cohen has said he felt pressured to testify. Trump indicated Cohen recanted his testimony, and suggested he would weigh a pardon if everything checks out, with Cohen's case continuing to generate debate about the witnesses and timeline of the proceedings.
