President Trump is keeping an open mind when it comes to a possible pardon for former fixer Michael Cohen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been asked that question,\u201d Trump told reporters outside Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday when asked if he\u2019d consider a pardon for Cohen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they put him through is incredible if you want to know the truth. Nobody has asked me about a pardon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When pressed again on a possible pardon, the president said he\u2019d consider it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, if everything is checking out, it\u2019s something I would consider, yeah. I mean, what they did to Michael Cohen was a disgrace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey forced him to say things that he didn\u2019t want to say, and that he didn\u2019t believe, and I appreciate that at least he came out, although late, he came out and rectified the situation,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n

Reporter: \u201cWill you pardon Michael Cohen?\u201d<\/p>\n

President Trump: \u201cI haven\u2019t even been\u2026I\u2019ve never been asked that question\u2026 What they put him through is incredible if you want to know the truth. Nobody has asked me about a pardon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reporter: \u201cWould you consider it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Trump praised Cohen after he recanted his testimony against the president, claiming he was pressured by New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan\u00a0District Attorney Alvin Bragg to lie.<\/p>\n

\n

Michael Cohen FULLY RECANTED his testimony! He admitted Tish James and Alvin Bragg pressured him to lie.
\nThis entire witch hunt against President Trump was a total lie and weaponized corrupt garbage.
\nDISMISS THE CASES NOW! Complete vindication for Trump! \"\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\"\"\ud83d\udd25\"\u2026<\/p>\n

Cohen has reportedly submitted a pardon application but has not directly asked the president for one.<\/p>\n

X users weighed in on the latest Cohen controversy:<\/p>\n

\n

This man shows grace even to those who say bad things about him.<\/p>\n

Trump was never guilty it was complete bs charges against him. On the other hand, I can\u2019t believe a single thing Cohen says and why is it coming out now ? Either way Trump is innocent!<\/p>\n

\n

I voted for Trump 3 times and would vote for him a 4th if he was allowed.
\nTo imply that NOW Michael Cohen is to be believed is utter nonsense.<\/p>\n
