GOP Demands DOJ Probe Cohen for Perjury, Claims Bias Protects Biden

This week, Michael Cohen, a key witness for DA Alvin Bragg, faces new troubles. Republican leaders like Rep. Elise Stefanik are pushing for a perjury investigation against Cohen. Last year, Chairman Mike Turner and Stefanik first called for this probe. Now, they claim the Justice Department is not taking action.

Stefanik accuses the Biden administration of using the law to target Trump. She believes the DOJ is protecting Biden’s interests by not investigating Cohen’s lies. Cohen previously claimed he could not remember Trump telling him to inflate his assets. But during Trump’s trial, Cohen changed his story, implicating Trump in fraud.

Many doubt Cohen’s credibility due to his history of lies. Republicans like Rep. Turner question why the Justice Department is not acting on Cohen’s admission of lying to Congress. They accuse the DOJ of favoritism towards Biden and unfair treatment of Trump.

In the midst of these accusations and demands for a probe, the outcome remains uncertain. Conservatives argue that the Justice Department must hold Cohen accountable for his dishonesty and ensure justice is served without political bias.
