Trump to appear on radio show hosted by former fixer Michael Cohen

President Donald Trump is set to appear on the radio show hosted by his former attorney and confidant, Michael Cohen, in a move that signifies a surprising public reunion between the two figures. The interview, scheduled to be taped for Cohen's 77 WABC program, is airing Thursday evening and Sunday, marking a significant moment given their highly publicized and acrimonious falling out.

President Donald Trump is expected to appear Thursday on the radio show of his former fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen, making a public reunion with the man who once called him a "Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain" and testified against him both in court and before Congress.

Cohen, who once famously declared he would "take a bullet" for Trump, became a key witness against the former president. His testimony was crucial in Trump's 2024 criminal hush-money trial, where he detailed actions related to hush-money payments. Cohen himself served prison time for crimes including campaign finance violations and lying to Congress, stemming from his efforts to conceal affairs during the 2016 presidential race.

Cohen, who served prison time for his role in what he said was covering up Trump's "dirty deeds," confirmed that the Republican president will appear in a taped interview airing on his 77 WABC program Thursday evening and Sunday.

Despite their past conflicts, which Cohen described as "political blood sport," a reconciliation appears to be underway. Cohen noted that there were 15 years of close friendship between them, adding, "The good times don't cease to have existed because the bad times came afterward." He directly stated, "We forgave."

Although his relationship with Trump became "political blood sport," there were 15 years of close friendship between them.

This apparent truce with Cohen places him among a growing list of individuals who have publicly clashed with Trump but have since returned to his favor. However, the split from Cohen was particularly personal, given his former role as Trump's "fixer." While the White House has not officially commented, Trump's schedule indicated he was taping a radio interview. Cohen has also been critical of prosecutors in the cases where he testified, suggesting a shared sentiment that may be contributing to this reunion.

"The good times don't cease to have existed because the bad times came afterward," Cohen wrote. Simply, he said: "We forgave."
