Michael Cohen's lawyer has said his client will refuse any pardon from Donald Trump, branding the US president a "criminal".
Lanny Davis, who was hired by Mr Cohen last month, told National Public Radio Mr Trump's former attorney would "never" accept a pardon from "a man that he considers to be a corrupt and a dangerous person".
The unexpected statement comes as yet another blow to Mr Trump's chances of extricating himself from what is developing into a legal minefield.
