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 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.

Trump Critics Eye Broad $1.8B 'Anti-Weaponisation' Fund for Claims

After the Justice Department unveiled an $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponisation Fund' as part of a settlement over Trump’s tax-return leak, high-profile critics like Michael Cohen and James Comey say they may file claims, arguing the fund could compensate those targeted for political reasons. The fund is described as broadly eligible and overseen by five appointees, prompting bipartisan debate about who qualifies and how funds will be allocated, while the settlement bars Trump and his family from payouts.

Cohen Seeks DOJ 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' Relief

Michael Cohen says he will apply for the Justice Department’s new $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' to seek relief for what he calls politically motivated government actions; he is drafting and plans to submit a claim letter to the DOJ. The fund, created as part of a settlement over Trump-era issues, allows individuals alleging weaponization of the legal system to seek compensation, with a five-person panel appointed by the AG deciding claims. Cohen’s move aligns him with other Trump critics and supporters who have signaled interest, while ethics groups have criticized the fund.

Trump's Legal Battles on Hold Amidst Political Tensions

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg has agreed to indefinitely postpone the sentencing of Donald Trump following his re-election victory, raising questions about the motivations behind the legal actions against him. The case, which involved alleged payments to silence Stormy Daniels, has been criticized for lacking clarity on its legality and for appearing politically motivated. Bragg's decision to delay proceedings suggests the case may have been more about influencing the 2024 election than upholding justice.
