In a recent development, the district attorney's office considered providing a letter regarding cooperation to Michael Cohen, pending approval from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) prosecutors. However, prosecutor Susan Hoffinger revealed that the SDNY prosecutors did not agree to this arrangement.
Despite the lack of approval, Cohen, the central figure in this legal saga, expressed his agreement with the decision. During the proceedings, observers noted a moment where former President Donald Trump appeared visibly surprised, as he opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows in response to the mention of a potential sentence reduction in the SDNY case.
As a consequence of the prosecutors' decision, the district attorney's office refrained from issuing a letter of cooperation to Cohen, a fact that Cohen himself confirmed. Prior to this development, Cohen had made a request to the federal judge overseeing his case for a reduction in his sentence. Additionally, he had approached the district attorney's office with a plea for a letter attesting to his cooperation.
