Michael Cohen Begs Biden for Presidential Pardon: “Solitary Confinement Sucks”
Disgraced former attorney Michael Cohen is pleading with Joe Biden to grant him a presidential pardon with just days left until President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Cohen told MSNBC’s Symone Sanders he had put in an application for a presidential pardon and expected Joe Biden to offer him once in the same way he did for his son Hunter.
“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 began.
“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.”
Symone Sanders interjected, saying, “I am struck by your comparing yourself and Hunter Biden. Um, and I’m, I wonder if, well, I’m going to tell you, Michael Kors, we’re on national TV, we have a conversation.”
“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. But your point, your other point, what I do think is a strong one.”
“I’m somebody’s son also, by the way.”
“You are somebody’s son, but I mean, to be very clear, you’re not the president’s son.”

Cohen, who served time for perjury, said he would need to leave the country if Trump defeated Kamala Harris because he would end up in prison.
“I’m out of here. I’m already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name,” Cohen said last year.
“I don’t know how it is going to work as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don’t want them moving to where I’m looking to go. “
Cohen also feared Trump would command US Navy Seals to go after his political opponents.
“When he turns around and says the head of this network or other people who are critics, that he intends to use SEAL Team Six or the military to round up his critics or his opponents, he intends to do it.”
