No.  There is a record of a phone call from Leland's office to the
Palmer residence, and there is no proof that it was Ben.  It could
have been Leland calling from Ben's office, and if Cooper were to ask
for a sworn statement from Leland, who knows what Leland would do?
No, the best option is to convince Leland/Bob that someone else will
be charged, which will give Cooper the chance to fool and catch Leland.

Actually, the statement from Cooper really fits into the previous
discussion on the what excerpt from the dialogue really describes the
atmosphere of the show.
