In the Manhattan DS trial (on bogus charges) Alvin Bragg seeks to call Michael Cohen as his key witness. Trump's attorneys have objected in a pre-trial filing, rightfully pointing out that Cohen is a convicted liar and perjurer.
Calling a known and convicted liar is tantamount to suborning perjury.
A day ago, judge Merchan said Cohen can be called by the People, thus himself allowing suborning perjury.
Today, a day later, a Federal judge denied Michael Cohen’s attempt to end his supervised release early after finding Donald Trump’s former attorney likely “committed perjury” in past testimony.
The people should be embarrassed, judge Marchan should hang his head in shame after this if he does not change his mind and disqualify Cohen testimony.
The People ought not be allowed to suborn perjury. No judges should permit it.

US District Judge Jesse Furman agreed there was a change, but not one that helped Cohen.
“In short, there was ‘a substantial change in circumstances’ between Cohen’s third failed application and this, his fourth. But that change — his October 2023 testimony, which was either perjurious or confirms that he committed perjury before this Court — makes plain that Cohen should be required to serve out the remainder of his supervised release term,” the judge wrote.
Last fall, Cohen testified that he lied to Judge William Pauley when he pleaded guilty in 2018 to tax evasion, claiming he had not evaded taxes.
“It gives rise to two possibilities: one, Cohen committed perjury when he pleaded guilty before Judge Pauley or, two, Cohen committed perjury in his October 2023 testimony,” Furman wrote.
