Trump Thanks His Former Attorney

President Donald Trump publicly thanked former attorney Michael Cohen on Sunday after Cohen unexpectedly voiced support for the administration’s proposed $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.

The endorsement caught many political observers off guard given the long and often bitter feud between the two men. Yet Cohen says his support is based on personal experience rather than politics.

Trump quickly responded after learning of Cohen’s comments.

Trump thanked Cohen for his comments, arguing that Democrats had used the power of government in unprecedented ways against political opponents. He added that Cohen had endured those actions firsthand and said those responsible should face serious consequences, according to his post on Truth Social.

Why Cohen Says He Supports the Fund

Although Cohen has spent years criticizing Trump, he argued that the proposed fund addresses a larger issue that extends beyond any one political figure.

In a recent commentary, Cohen said he has firsthand experience with what can happen when government investigations become highly politicized. He explained that his support for the fund is rooted in concerns about fairness, accountability, and protecting Americans from potential abuses of power.

Cohen stressed that his position should not be interpreted as an endorsement of every person who may ultimately receive compensation under the program.

Instead, he said the proposal addresses a principle he believes is important regardless of political affiliation.

Cohen said he backs the proposal because he has personally experienced what he believes can happen when government power is used against an individual.

Concerns About Government Power

According to Cohen, there are times when government agencies and prosecutors can become more focused on securing outcomes than pursuing impartial justice.

He argued that aggressive investigations, anonymous media leaks, and political pressures can create serious consequences for those targeted.

Cohen also highlighted the impact these situations can have on family members who often become caught in the middle of legal and political battles.

His comments reflect growing concerns among many Americans who worry that federal agencies have become increasingly involved in political disputes rather than remaining neutral institutions.

A Surprising Moment of Agreement

For years, Cohen was one of Trump’s most vocal critics.

After serving as Trump’s personal attorney and adviser, Cohen later testified before Congress and became involved in investigations surrounding the former president.

Trump has frequently responded by questioning Cohen’s credibility and dismissing him as an unreliable witness.

That history makes this latest development especially noteworthy.

While the two men remain divided on many issues, Cohen’s support for the anti-weaponization fund represents a rare point of agreement between former political adversaries.

Why This Matters

The debate over government weaponization has become a major issue in American politics.

Supporters of the proposed fund argue that Americans who are unfairly targeted by politically motivated government actions deserve protection and accountability. Critics, however, question how such a program would be administered and who would qualify for compensation.

As Washington continues to debate the role of federal agencies and the limits of government power, Cohen’s unexpected endorsement adds a new voice to an already heated national conversation.

For many Americans, the broader question remains the same: How can government institutions maintain public trust while ensuring that justice is applied fairly and equally to everyone?
