Welcome back to the Tara Palmieri Show. A lot has happened since Ellie Leonard, the independent journalist, revealed a document inside of the Epstein filed deep inside that showed that Michael Cohen was dangling information about Jeffrey Epstein that he heard from President Trump. And he believed that that information could be so helpful to prosecutors that it could help reduce his sentence or help him in his cases. His lawyers got involved. Yeah, pretty crazy, right? And as you all remember from my interviews with Michael Cohen, he's always said that he knew nothing about Jeffrey Epstein, never heard a thing, there's nothing to it. The Jane Doe case that he worked on, it was all bullshit and it was dropped and this and that.

He told me it was bullshit, take care of it. I said, okay, that was it. That was it. Bullshit. He said bullshit never happened.

That was really quite revealing. But then get this. After that, Cohen says that the New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg and, and the Attorney General Letitia James, pressured and coerced him into an anti Trump testimony in the hush money trial. If you remember, he was the star witness. Obviously this comes at a very good time for Trump.

Right?

This is super helpful because that case is out on appeal. If it's seems that the star witness was pressured and coerced, could throw the case out altogether. It's a huge favor to Trump, right? And then that's where the next wrinkle comes in. So Lev Parnas said that Cohen has been working back channels to get to Trump through the White House to personally request a pardon. And he even wanted to go through Jorge Santos to ask for advice on how to get one. Lev says he has receipts. It's a pretty wild interview.

Lev even pulls up his phone.

I do some texting to ask George Santos and, and Michael Cohen their version of events. But yeah, this has all happened in the past few weeks. And Midas Touch, which is the podcast network that was carrying Michael, they dropped him after all of this.
