Donald Trump is slated to be interviewed on former personal attorney Michael Cohen's WABC radio show, marking a public rapprochement between the two.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to take part in a taped interview on former personal lawyer Michael Cohen's 77 WABC radio program, which will air Thursday evening and again on Sunday. Cohen, who served a prison sentence after pleading guilty to campaign-finance violations and lying to Congress, confirmed the appearance on his show.
The interview follows a series of public statements by Cohen indicating that the two have begun to reconcile after a long period of personal and legal conflict. In a newsletter promoting the interview, Cohen wrote that their 15-year friendship had survived the “political blood sport” of recent years and that “we forgave.”
Cohen previously testified against Trump in both a criminal hush-money trial and a civil fraud case, contributing to Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The White House has not commented on the upcoming interview, though Trump’s official schedule shows he will tape the segment on Thursday morning.
"The good times don’t cease to have existed because the bad times came afterward," Cohen wrote in his newsletter.
Cohen was sentenced in 2018 to three years in prison for campaign-finance crimes related to payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal during the 2016 election, as well as for providing false statements to Congress. He has since criticized the prosecutors in those cases.
Trump has not issued a direct statement about the interview, but he has shared social-media posts linking to Cohen’s comments about pressure from prosecutors in the hush-money and civil fraud cases.
