Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s “Fixer,” Joins Former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. to Discuss a Presidential Pardon

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--President-elect Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, who was sentenced to a three-year prison term for Trump-related crimes, is asking Joe Biden for a presidential pardon before his term ends on January 20, 2025. Cohen revealed that he submitted the required application.

Cohen will be a guest on Jesse Jackson Jr.’s radio show on KBLA Talk 1580 tomorrow, January 15, 2025, at 4 PM (EST) / 1 PM (PST).

“My hope is that Joe Biden offers and presents me with the same pardon that he did for his own son,” said Cohen in a recent interview.

Former Congressman Jackson Jr. is also seeking a pardon from President Joe Biden. Recently, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if there was an update on his pardon.

“Obviously, the President believes in Americans who have shown that they can get a second chance to have a second chance,” said Jean-Pierre during a recent White House media briefing. She added that the President’s actions with pardons and commutations have been historic.
