President Trump demanded Tuesday that the legal cases against him be dismissed because his former lawyer said he was \u201ccoerced\u201d into testifying against Mr. Trump during the investigations.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy Truth Social post, Mr. Trump said he was \u201can innocent man who has been horribly treated,\u201d called for the \u201cswift and immediate dismissal\u201d of cases against him and demanded that New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg face punishment for their actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen 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? That is exactly what happened in the Democrat New York Attorney General and Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Hoaxes against me,\u201d the president posted.<\/p>\n

The president cited former attorney Michael Cohen\u2019s January Substack post stating that he was pressured by Mr. Bragg and Ms. James to provide information that would damage Mr. Trump. He was a key witness in both cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the time I first began meeting with lawyers from the Manhattan DA\u2019s Office and the New York Attorney General\u2019s Office in connection with their investigations of President Trump, and through the trials themselves, I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government\u2019s desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump,\u201d Mr. Cohen wrote on Substack.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen my testimony was insufficient for a point the prosecution sought to make, prosecutors frequently asked inappropriate leading questions to elicit answers that supported their narrative,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump said Mr. Cohen was \u201cpressured and coerced\u201d into testifying against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that his testimony is wiped away, the unAmerican, Political Charade \u2018cases\u2019 are even further discredited, they should be put out of their misery and dismissed, once and for all. Our Constitution and the Rule of Law demand immediate and swift dismissal,\u201d Mr. Trump posted.<\/p>\n

Mr. Cohen, who served as Mr. Trump\u2019s \u201cfixer\u201d before he became president, admitted in the 2024 hush money case brought by Mr. Bragg that he facilitated payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels to cover up an affair ahead of the 2016 election. He testified that he did so at Mr. Trump\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n

A jury found Mr. Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in that case. An appeals panel revived Mr. Trump\u2019s bid to move the case into federal court so that he could appeal it to the U.S. Supreme Court by invoking its presidential immunity ruling.<\/p>\n

Mr. Cohen was also the key witness in a case brought by Ms. James against Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization in 2023, testifying that he \u201creverse-engineered\u201d financial statements. A jury concluded Mr. Trump\u2019s business inflated its net worth to secure tax and insurance benefits.<\/p>\n

The Trump Organization was fined $500 million in the case, but it was later tossed by an appeals judge. However, the judgment still stands.<\/p>\n
