White House Won’t Rule Out Pardon For Cohen

Raw Story reports:

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on Monday declined to say President Donald Trump will not pardon his attorney, Michael Cohen, who is reportedly being investigated by federal prosecutors in New York.

During a Monday morning press gaggle, Sanders was asked about a potential pardon for Cohen, who has been called president’s “fixer” for authoring non-disclosure agreements with women who allegedly had affairs with Trump.

Sarah Sanders wouldn’t definitively state that President Trump won’t pardon Michael Cohen. “I don’t think that we are going to talk about hypotheticals that don’t exist right now,” Sanders told reporters on the North Lawn just now.

“I don’t think the president has anything to hide. He’s been quite clear on that,” replies @PressSec to question about @realDonaldTrump tweet suggesting @MichaelCohen212 could flip.
