‘Biden Must Pardon Me Before Trump’s Return’ [WATCH]

Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, confirmed on MSNBC that he has applied for a presidential pardon from the Biden-Harris administration.

During a discussion with host Symone Sanders, Cohen argued that he deserves the same consideration as Hunter Biden, who received a pardon earlier this year.

Cohen also highlighted the harsh conditions he endured during his imprisonment, particularly the 51 days he spent in solitary confinement.

“Regarding the pardon, yeah, I put in the application for a presidential pardon, because I believe that Joe Biden has the same responsibility to me that he had to his own son,” Cohen said during the segment.

“And I would expect that the same exact pardon that he gave his son has to go to me and to anybody else that’s on that enemies list, whether they want it or not, because I assure you, solitary confinement, where I did 51 days, sucks.”

Cohen’s comparison to Hunter Biden raised questions from Sanders and other commentators about the effectiveness of his approach, given the political dynamics surrounding pardons.

Symone Sanders acknowledged Cohen’s experience in solitary confinement, calling it “terrible,” but questioned his public strategy.

“Michael Cohen, I believe wholeheartedly that the solitary confinement was just a terrible experience for you. And I think your point about the enemies—the proverbial enemies list—is a good one,” she said.

However, Sanders cautioned Cohen about his direct comparison to Hunter Biden.

“I am struck by your comparing yourself and Hunter Biden,” Sanders said. “I don’t necessarily think that’s your best way to go get a pardon. I mean, Hunter Biden is the President’s last surviving son.”

Cohen, however, pushed back on this point. “I’m somebody’s son, also, by the way,” he responded.

“Agreed,” Sanders replied. “You are somebody’s son, but I mean to be very clear, you’re not the president’s son.”

The conversation also touched on the Biden-Harris administration’s approach to issuing pardons.

Sanders explained that the administration does not grant pardons to individuals who publicly declare they do not want one.

“It is my understanding that… the administration is not going to give a pardon to anybody that doesn’t want one,” Sanders stated.

“So folks who have prominently gone out and said, ‘I do not want a pardon,’ the President is not going to issue a pardon to people that don’t want one.”

Cohen, however, expressed confidence that opinions on pardons might shift over time.

“They’ll change their mind when they’re sitting behind closed doors. That I can assure you. They’ll kick themselves in the backside for that one,” Cohen said.

Cohen’s public request and his comparison to Hunter Biden add a new layer to the political narrative surrounding pardons.

While Cohen insists on fairness and equal treatment, the discussion highlights the complexities of navigating public perception and the personal connections involved in presidential pardon decisions.

As of now, Cohen has not received a response from the Biden-Harris administration regarding his application.
