Trump Claims Michael Cohen Has “Recanted” Testimony, Calls for Dismissal of Legal Cases
Donald Trump has asserted that Michael Cohen, described as the “Prosecution’s Star Witness and, in actuality, only Witness” in the New York State Attorney General and Manhattan District Attorney cases against him, has “fully RECANTED his testimony.” Trump claims Cohen was “pressured” and “coerced” to provide false statements and thanks Cohen for what he calls an “Act of Bravery.” Trump further demands that “any remnant of those Politically Weaponized Cases against me be immediately terminated and dismissed,” alleging that the cases were “WRONG and UNLAWFUL.” He accuses Letitia James and Alvin Bragg of breaking the law to prevent him from becoming President.
Fact-Checking Trump’s Claims
False Claim: Cohen Has “Fully Recanted”
There is no public evidence that Michael Cohen has “fully recanted” his testimony. Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, has consistently testified against Trump in multiple legal proceedings and has not issued any statement retracting his previous testimony. Trump’s claim that Cohen was “pressured” and “coerced” to lie is not supported by any documented evidence or court filings.
Distortion of Legal Proceedings
Trump refers to the New York cases as “Politically Weaponized” and claims that the prosecutors “broke the Law” to target him. These accusations are not substantiated by any findings from the courts overseeing these cases. Both Letitia James and Alvin Bragg have pursued legal actions based on evidence reviewed by grand juries and judges, not on political motivations as Trump alleges.
Exaggeration of Cohen’s Role
Trump states that Cohen is the “only Witness” in these cases. In reality, both the Attorney General’s civil fraud case and the Manhattan DA’s criminal case have involved multiple witnesses and extensive documentary evidence beyond Cohen’s testimony.
Attacks and Unsubstantiated Allegations
Trump’s statement includes direct attacks on Letitia James and Alvin Bragg, accusing them of illegal conduct without providing evidence. He also characterizes the entire legal process as an effort to prevent his presidential ambitions, a claim that has not been corroborated by any independent investigation or court ruling.
Conclusion
Donald Trump’s latest statement repeats several false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the legal cases against him in New York. There is no evidence that Michael Cohen has recanted his testimony or that prosecutors have acted unlawfully. Trump’s repeated attacks on the integrity of the justice system and those involved in his cases continue a pattern of public statements that distort the facts and undermine confidence in legal institutions. Readers should be aware that these claims are not supported by the available evidence or by the public record of the proceedings.
