CNN Stunner: Legal Analyst Says Michael Cohen Just “Demolished” Bragg’s Case Against Trump
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is waking up to a nightmare unfolding this morning. His “Got Trump” convictions are hanging on by an even thinner thread than he ever imagined after a crushing interview between President Trump and an unsuspecting character yesterday.
That unsuspecting character was Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, and Bragg’s star witness.
The case rested on whether or not the jury would believe Cohen, who had previously been convicted of perjury for lying to Congress. Cohen also had open hostility toward Trump and a history of lying to business associates and the public.
President Trump has apparently decided to let bygones be bygones and joined Cohen on Cohen’s WABC radio show yesterday.
In the segment below, Cohen asks the President to go “back to 2016.”
“You and I have traveled a pretty rocky road together. Do you remember, sir, when I went on CNN with Brianna Keilar, and she told me that you’re underwater in the polls? And I responded with those famous two words, ‘Says who?’ which became a worldwide meme,” Cohen asked.
After reminiscing on the weaponization both men had endured during the President’s first term, Trump ends the segment with, “I respect the fact that you recanted everything you said.”
“Yeah,” Cohen responds.
CNN’s senior legal analyst Elie Honig joined Jake Tapper to vindicate President Trump against much of the criticism he had faced publicly over the weaponized Manhattan felony charges.
“Anyone who cheered that hush money prosecution of Donald Trump two years ago has nothing left to stand on,” Honig stated.
He continued:
“The guy (Cohen) who was the reason every prosecutor who looked at this case, including the Biden DOJ and the prior liberal Democratic DA, passed on charging this case, was because they didn’t trust Michael Cohen beyond a reasonable doubt. Alvin Bragg rolled that dice and now Michael Cohen has said publicly that he ‘felt pressured and coerced by prosecutors.’
So where do you stand on Michael Cohen now? If you believe he’s a truth-teller, then he felt pressured and coerced by prosecutors. That’s not acceptable.
If you believe he’s a liar, then your case is built on a liar.
That case is going through its appeal process incredibly slowly. I think there are major legal infirmities with it. But now the factual predicate has collapsed as well.
