Prosecutorial Conduct and Ethics

Michael Cohen said New York prosecutors "pressured and coerced" him into giving anti‑Trump testimony, asserting he was forced to fit prosecutors' desired narrative and addressing accusations that he is seeking a pardon—saying he would welcome one but that his request to the White House is "far larger than me." In response to his coercion claims, left‑leaning media company MeidasTouch announced it will no longer produce or carry his shows "Political Beatdown" and "Mea Culpa," a decision Cohen called "like losing family" and vowed his podcasts will continue off the network.
