President Donald Trump demanded early Tuesday morning that legal cases against him filed in New York City, New York, be dismissed. The president requested a social media post to his Truth Social account shortly after midnight, citing claims by Michael Cohen, his former attorney, that he was “coerced” into testifying against Trump.
“When a Star Witness totally recants, and in every way reveals that he was pressured and coerced to give testimony, and when the Prosecutor admits that this Witness was the single reason that the case was brought, there was no other, how can that Case not be immediately dismissed?” Trump asked in his post.

“That is exactly what happened in the Democrat New York Attorney General and Manhattan District Attorney’s Hoaxes against me,” Trump said. “Michael Cohen has come out and unequivocally stated that the Radical Left Prosecutors, Tish James and Alvin Bragg, pressured and coerced him to testify against your favorite President, ME, when they made him the key player in their Political Witch Hunts.”
