"I brought up the pardon, and he said, 'I don't think so. I just don't think so,'" a friend of Cohen's told CNN. "He's certain in his mind that he has been dismissed."

A second friend told CNN that it is clear Cohen is "not counting" on a pardon from Trump.

Cohen, who is currently under investigation in the Southern District of New York for possible bank and wire fraud and campaign finance violations, recently told ABC his first loyalty is to his family.

The comment fueled speculation that Cohen is considering cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE in his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

He reportedly spoke to friends about his pardon prospects before that interview.

"His mindset is of someone who is operating under the assumption that he is not getting that, though of course he doesn't know one way or the other," the second friend told CNN.

The report about Cohen comes about a week after more than 1.3 million documents related to the April FBI raids of Cohen’s office, home and hotel room were transferred to prosecutors.

The files prosecutors now have access to are part of a cache of 3.7 million documents seized by the FBI.

The investigation of Cohen includes the $130,000 nondisclosure payment Cohen gave to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, which she says was to keep quiet an affair she had with Trump more than a decade ago.

In June, after pardoning conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza, The Hill reported that Trump was considering half a dozen additional potential pardons.
