In the early hours of June 2, 2026, former President Donald Trump used his Truth Social account to call for the dismissal of his civil and criminal cases in New York.

This reaction followed comments made by his former attorney, Michael Cohen, on a podcast, where Cohen claimed he was coerced and pressured to testify against Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

Trump described Cohen as a 'Star Witness' and argued that since Cohen allegedly recanted his testimony, the legal cases against him should be immediately dismissed.

He accused New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of conducting politically motivated prosecutions, labeling them as part of a 'Radical Left' campaign against him.

Trump also emphasized the need to restore public confidence in the justice system and repeatedly stated that he is innocent and has been treated unfairly.His posts came after a night of promoting GOP candidates, blending political commentary with his legal arguments.

The news highlights the ongoing legal challenges Trump faces and his continued efforts to publicly contest them, framing the situation as a matter of political bias and coercion.
