Defense attorney Todd Blanche is currently challenging Michael Cohen on his previous statements regarding his stance on accepting a pardon from President Trump. During the ongoing legal proceedings, Blanche has raised questions about Cohen's conflicting statements on the matter.
Blanche pointed out that while Cohen publicly declared that he would never seek or accept a pardon from President Trump, he later revealed in closed-door sessions with lawmakers that he had instructed his lawyers to explore the possibility of a pardon. This inconsistency has become a focal point of the legal debate between the two parties.
