Michael Cohen claims that the petition that was filed with the Supreme Court on Wednesday is put to the test in this way.
“The Constitution is the bedrock of our democratic republic and is what makes America the beacon of the world,” argues Cohen.
In July 2020, Cohen—the contentious longtime attorney and fixer for former President Trump—claims that he was ordered back to prison, shackled, and placed in solitary confinement by Trump and Justice Department officials as retaliation for publishing his first memoir, “Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump.” Cohen is asking the court to consider this claim.
According to the petition, presidents are not kings. “This case exemplifies the idea that presidents and their deputies can imprison opponents of the executive branch without facing repercussions. That can’t be the legal system of the nation that the Founders believed they established when they rebelled against the monarchy.
