President Donald Trump said he would “consider” a pardon for his former fixer turned foe, Michael Cohen.
Asked if he planned to pardon his former attorney, Trump told reporters Wednesday he had “never been asked that question” and reiterated that he believed Cohen had recanted his testimony in the New York fraud case against him.
“If everything is checking out, it’s something I would consider,” Trump said before departing for the GOP midterm convention in Dallas. “What they did to Michael Cohen was a disgrace. They forced him to say things that he didn’t want to say and that he didn’t believe.”
