Trump to be interviewed on Michael Cohen's radio show, his former lawyer says

Michael Cohen, once President Trump's loyal "fixer," is set to interview his former boss on his radio show, marking the first public conversation between the two in eight years. The unexpected turn comes after a decade-long relationship that soured dramatically, leading Cohen to testify against Trump in multiple trials.

“

This is the first public conversation between the president and myself in eight years.

Cohen, who spent over a decade as Trump's right-hand man, was deeply involved in the Trump Organization's business dealings and Trump's personal affairs. His role as a "permanent fixture" in Trump's office ended as scrutiny intensified over a $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. This payment became central to Cohen's 2018 guilty plea for financial crimes, campaign finance violations, and lying to Congress, resulting in over a year in prison.

I was a permanent fixture in his office, most specifically the far-right red velvet chair.

Following his release, Cohen pursued a career in podcasting and writing, becoming a vocal critic of Trump. He expressed strong desires for Trump's downfall, stating, "I truly f**king hope that this man ends up in prison." Cohen's testimony was instrumental in Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to the Daniels matter.

I truly f**king hope that this man ends up in prison.

However, Cohen has recently indicated a shift, suggesting in January that he felt "pressured and coerced" by prosecutors to testify. This apparent change of heart has paved the way for a reconciliation, with Cohen reaching out to the White House and Trump agreeing to the interview. The conversation, recorded Thursday morning, will air on Cohen's WABC radio show "When You Know, You Know… with Michael Cohen."

You better believe I want this man to go down and rot inside for what he did to my family.
