From Fox News: Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen is demanding President Biden pardon him like he pardoned his son Hunter before President-elect Donald Trump can take office.
Cohen discussed his efforts to reach out to the Biden administration for a pardon on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” Saturday morning. He claimed that not giving him a presidential pardon would continue to allow him “to be in danger” of a Trump prosecution.
Cohen argued Biden has an obligation to protect him and other critics from Trump, like he protected his son Hunter.
“Yeah, 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 said. “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.”
As Cohen whined about needing a pardon, MSNBC host Symone Sanders questioned his argument, pointing out that “Hunter Biden is the president’s last surviving son.”
“I’m somebody’s son also, by the way,” Cohen argued.
“Agreed. You are somebody’s son,” Sanders replied. “But I mean, to be very clear, you’re not the president’s son. And he pardoned Hunter primarily because that is his son, I think.”

Cohen is facing mockery over his plea for a pardon. Someone created a parody video of his comments, while President-elect Donald Trump appears behind him playing a violin.

“I have no choice.”
Cohen cites the prospect of Trump retribution as the reason he must flee the US should Trump return to the White House.
