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.
