President Donald Trump called for the dismissal of legal cases against him in New York City early Tuesday morning. In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump referenced claims made by his former attorney, Michael Cohen, who stated that he was coerced into testifying against Trump. Trump questioned how the case could continue after Cohen's recantation of his testimony, which he described as being pressured by prosecutors. Cohen had previously asserted that he felt compelled to provide testimony that aligned with the prosecution's objectives in trials involving Trump. He criticized the prosecutors for allegedly prioritizing convictions over justice. Trump reiterated his innocence and argued that the cases should be dismissed based on Cohen's claims.
