President Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen now says prosecutors pressured him to testify in ways that help the hush money and civil fraud cases against the president.
Cohen wrote in a Substack post that from the time he began meeting with prosecutors in the Manhattan DA's office and the New York Attorney General's office, he felt, quote, 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. Cohen also wrote in part, quote, Letitia James and Alvin Bragg may not share the same office or political calendar, but they share the same playbook. Both use their platforms to elevate their profiles to claim the mantle of the officials who took down Trump.
Fox's C.B. Cotton in New York. The U.S. Supreme Court this week said to hear arguments over a Hawaii gun law limiting the carrying of firearms onto private property.
Hawaii passed a law that prohibits someone with a concealed carry permit from bringing a gun onto private property that is open to the public unless the property owner gives permission. A few years ago, in its Bruin ruling, the Supreme Court not only ensured one's right to carry a handgun outside the home for self-defense, but also said gun laws need to be consistent with the country's historical tradition of firearms regulation. Officials in Hawaii said their law satisfies Bruin, that it balances the needs of property owners with the rights of gun owners. But Hawaii residents Jason and Allison Wolford sued. While the Ninth Circuit Court sided with the state, the Supreme Court has agreed to consider Hawaii's ban.
Jessica Rosenthal, Fox News. Democrat Abigail Spanberger's warning yesterday is the first ever female governor of Virginia taking a dig at the Trump White House.
