Trump demands New York civil, criminal cases be thrown out
Former President Trump demands New York cases be dismissed, citing his former lawyer Michael Cohen's claims of prosecutorial coercion.
- Early Tuesday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social demanding the immediate dismissal of his New York criminal and civil cases, citing recent claims from former lawyer Michael Cohen that prosecutors pressured him to provide specific testimony.
- Cohen, a central witness in investigations led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleged prosecutors pressured him to build cases against Trump rather than examine evidence objectively.
- Declaring himself an "innocent man who has been horribly treated," Trump labeled the prosecutions a "Political Charade" while referring to Cohen as a "Star Witness" who supposedly recanted his testimony.
- Demanding the "Rule of Law" be restored, Trump called for those involved in what he termed "Radical Left Lawfare" to be held criminally responsible for their actions in the prosecutions.
- Despite Trump's demands, a jury previously convicted him on 34 felony counts related to the hush-money payments in 2024, making him the first U.S. president convicted of a felony.
