Lanny Davis, an attorney representing Michael Cohen, said Wednesday that Cohen “would never accept” a pardon from President Trump after pleading guilty in Manhattan court to tax fraud and campaign finance law violations.
“Not only is he not hoping for it, he would not accept a pardon,” Davis said on NBC’s “Today.”
“He considers a pardon from somebody who has acted so corruptly as president to be something he would never accept,” Davis added.
“He’s [Cohen] turned his life from what he did for Donald Trump, much of which he now regrets…but he decided, fundamentally, that his family and his country were his priorities.”

“Michael Cohen is not interested in being dirtied by a pardon from such a man.” — Cohen Atty Lanny Davis on @NPR

It’s safe for Cohen to now play the hero as it is most certain that Trump wouldn’t grant him a pardon.
