Trump hints at possible pardon for Michael Cohen amid reconciliation

Trump said he would consider pardoning Michael Cohen if 'everything is checking out,' signaling a surprising thaw after years of feud as Cohen pursues clemency following his federal convictions tied to hush-money payments and lying to Congress. The reconciliation included Cohen appearing on Trump’s radio show, while Trump battles his own New York state case; a presidential pardon could erase federal consequences of Cohen’s past.

Trump hints at potential pardon for Michael Cohen

Trump said he would weigh a pardon for Michael Cohen 'if everything is checked out,' signaling a possible thaw with his former fixer who testified against him in the 2024 hush-money case; Cohen, once a close adviser turned critic, has floated asking Trump for clemency and has previously sought pardons from Biden and the Trump administrations, though a pardon would not restore his law license.

Judge blocks third attempt to move Trump hush-money case to federal court

A federal judge denied Trump's third attempt to transfer the New York hush-money case from state court to federal court, ruling that the payments to Stormy Daniels were private conduct not connected to his presidency and not protected by presidential immunity; the case remains in state court and is headed back to the 2nd Circuit for further review.

Judge keeps hush-money case in New York, rejects federal transfer bid

Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied Trump's bid to move the New York hush-money case to federal court for a third time, ruling the presidential-immunity argument isn’t new or legally sufficient; Trump plans an appeal. The case concerns a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels to influence the 2016 election; Trump was convicted in 2024 on 34 counts of falsifying business records and received an unconditional discharge in 2025, though the conviction remains on his record. The ruling references the 2024 Supreme Court immunity decision and a 2nd Circuit reconsideration order in evaluating whether the acts were official presidential acts.

Judge: Stormy Daniels hush-money talks aren’t official presidential actions

A federal judge denied Donald Trump’s bid to move his New York hush-money case from state court to federal court, ruling that the alleged private conduct surrounding reimbursements to Michael Cohen is not an official presidential act and thus not within presidential immunity. Trump has appealed, and while the case remains in state court, the ruling follows a prior appellate direction to reassess in light of immunity rulings.

Court denies Trump bid to overturn hush-money conviction

Manhattan Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein rejected former President Trump’s bid to move or erase the hush-money case, ruling that presidential immunity does not shield the state prosecution and that a cover-up of an affair isn’t within a president’s official duties. The May 2024 conviction for falsifying business records tied to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels stands, and Trump’s team says it will appeal, calling it a ‘second bite at the apple’ that the court disfavored.

Jelly Roll's Cheating Confession Triggers Hush-Money Document Debate

On Valentine’s Day, Nicole Arbour publicly challenged Jelly Roll to confirm whether a hush-money agreement exists after he admitted cheating on his wife; she says she would publicly post the document if it exists or if she’s allowed, while Jelly Roll faces the risk of a defamation case if she’s mistaken, and his silence or potential apology could shape public perception of accountability and amends.

Judge chides Trump lawyers on bid to move hush-money appeal to federal court

A Manhattan federal judge questioned Trump’s bid to relocate the hush-money conviction appeal from state court to federal court after the Supreme Court’s presidential-immunity ruling, telling Trump’s lawyers they effectively sought two bites at the apple. The judge noted the 30-day removal window and signaled there must be a colorable defense or good cause to retry the move, with a ruling expected later. The effort would aim to give the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court through a federal pathway.
