Michael Cohen returned from a trip to President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort earlier this year believing his former longtime boss would pardon him in exchange for his loyalty, according to a new report.

Cohen, a key witness in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, was under the impression after the March 2018 visit to the Florida club that the president would pardon him if he faced any charges for sticking to his story about the payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, CNN reported Friday.
