"Judge Refuses to Punish Michael Cohen for Alleged Perjury and AI Reliance"
A federal judge suggested that Michael Cohen committed perjury, supporting Donald Trump's claims of Cohen's untrustworthiness, after questioning Cohen's truthfulness in denying his request for early release from court supervision. The judge cited Cohen's testimony at Trump's civil fraud trial, where Cohen insisted he was not guilty of tax evasion despite pleading guilty in 2018. Cohen's ongoing efforts to retract his acceptance of responsibility for his crimes were cited as evidence for the need for specific deterrence. Cohen's lawyer disputed the judge's conclusion, while Trump's lawyer called for Cohen to be prosecuted. Cohen is a key witness in Trump's hush-money criminal trial, which has been delayed due to a last-minute evidence dump.
