Donald Trump says Michael Cohen has recanted hush money testimony
Trump says Michael Cohen fully recanted testimony used in the 34-felony conviction, renewing his push to dismiss the case.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump claimed that former attorney Michael Cohen has "fully recanted" his testimony in the hush money case, alleging prosecutors coerced him into providing false statements.
- Cohen, once Trump's self-described "fixer," served as the prosecution's star witness before the two men reconciled in recent months following years of acrimony.
- Trump's lawyers submitted a filing in New York state court on Thursday, asking the attorney general's office to confirm "on a document-specific basis" that communications with Cohen "have been and continue to be preserved."
- Citing the alleged recantation, Trump demanded immediate termination of "Politically Weaponized Cases" against him, accusing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James of breaking the law.
- Despite the president's claims, his conviction remains in place, and it is unclear whether Cohen has formally retracted his testimony or statements to the government.
