Trump Says Star Witness Michael Cohen Recanted Testimony In His NY Cases
Trump made the claim in a September 4 Truth Social post, calling Cohen the prosecution's 'Star Witness,' with no confirmation from Cohen.
- Trump posted the claim September 4, 2026, on Truth Social, without releasing any document.
- Cohen testified as the key witness in Trump's 2024 Manhattan hush money conviction.
- Cohen's account also underpinned New York's civil fraud judgment against Trump and his company.
Why it matters: The only witness to Cohen's recantation, so far, is the man Cohen's testimony helped convict.
