The MeidasTouch Network announced on Saturday it was cutting loose former Trump fixer Michael Cohen from their contributor lineup after Cohen claimed New York prosecutors pressured him to testify against Trump. MeidasTouch produced and carried Cohen’s podcasts Political Beatdown and Mea Culpa.
Cohen was a key witness in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ 2023 civil action that charged Trump with inflating his business assets, and in a criminal case in 2024 involving Stormy Daniels’ hush money payments brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Excerpts from Cohen’s substack:
From the time I first began meeting with lawyers from the Manhattan DA’s Office and the New York Attorney General’s 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’s desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump.
Letitia James and Alvin Bragg may not share the same office or political calendar, but they share the same playbook. Both used their platforms to elevate their profiles, to claim the mantle of the officials who “took down Trump.” In doing so, they blurred the line between justice and politics; and in that blur, the credibility of both suffered.
Cohen claims he is speaking out because “justice must be more than effective; it must be credible.”
Thanks, Michael. Trump is currently trying to move his hush money case to federal court.
