Cohen claims prosecutors pressured him to testify against Trump, seeking conviction over truth, as case faces federal review.

Michael Cohen, former Trump attorney, says he felt pressured by prosecutors in the New York hush money case to provide testimony that served their goal of convicting Trump, claiming both Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and AG Letitia James focused on securing a conviction over uncovering truth. In a Substack post, Cohen described being coerced into shaping his testimony, citing leading questions and a desire for leniency. His claims come as a federal appeals panel ordered a judge to reconsider whether the case should move to federal court, raising questions about the case’s legal foundation and political influence.
