Donald Trump says "Great Credit to the Justice System" regarding Michael Cohen's alleged bravery

Donald Trump publicly praised his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen after Cohen said New York prosecutors had pressured him during investigations into Trump. In a Truth Social post, Trump thanked Cohen and said his actions should bring credit to New York City’s and state’s justice systems; Trump claimed Cohen had disavowed his earlier testimony and that the cases by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and state Attorney General Letitia James were unlawful, politically motivated, and should be ended. Cohen, the prosecution’s main witness, wrote on Substack that he felt coerced to provide information and testimony that fit the government’s objectives. Trump’s remarks follow that statement and coincide with a federal appeals court’s revival of Trump’s bid to undo his 2024 conviction for business-record falsification.
