President Donald Trump spent part of the night responding to ongoing legal scrutiny, posting a lengthy message on social media defending himself and criticizing the investigations against him.
In a late-night Truth Social post, Trump said he is “an innocent man who has been horribly treated” and argued that prosecutors involved in cases against him should be held accountable.
The post followed recent comments by Trump’s former attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, who said he felt “pressured” during investigations involving his former boss. Trump pointed to those remarks as evidence that cases brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg lacked legitimacy.
Trump also argued that because Cohen was a key witness, his comments should raise broader questions about the criminal and civil cases tied to the investigations. The exchange has continued fueling debate over legal accountability, prosecutorial conduct, and the political impact of high-profile investigations.
