Donald Trump and Michael Cohen Reunite for Radio Interview After Years of Estrangement

President Donald Trump and Michael Cohen, his former personal lawyer who became an adversary, have reconnected for a radio interview airing on Thursday. The discussion marks a significant turn in their long-standing conflict, now seeming to include a chapter of forgiveness.

Cohen shared with Fox News Digital that the interview spans 40 minutes and will air in two segments. As a pivotal witness in two New York cases concerning Trump, Cohen also detailed this surprising reunion in a Substack post. It will be their first public conversation in nearly ten years.

Cohen noted, “My inbox has been overwhelmed with hate mail since the interview was announced. Many critics, who portray a deep Christian faith on social media, criticized the event.”

He added, “One moment, these individuals post about divine love and forgiveness. The next, they unleash fury online. It’s ironic.” Cohen cited Colossians 3:13, emphasizing forgiveness as central to their interaction.

Earlier this year, Cohen alleged feeling “pressured and coerced” by New York officials to provide testimony against Trump. In a recent post, Cohen addressed a common question: “How can two men, once at war, reconcile?”

He explained, “Forgiveness isn’t about dismissing the past or forgetting. It’s having the courage to let go of past grievances.”

Cohen previously pleaded guilty to lying to Congress, campaign finance violations, and tax evasion related to his work for Trump, resulting in a three-year sentence, which he completed under home confinement. He frequently appeared on liberal news platforms during his conflict with Trump.

Cohen discussed societal addiction to “permanent outrage,” urging against forming identities around hatred. Reflecting on his 15-year history with Trump, he described the journey from shared achievements to their eventual fallout.

Significantly, Cohen mentioned his decision that the past should not dictate the future. He clarified that reconciliation does not alter history, yet allows for unexpected discussions after a bitter feud.

“You don’t have to support Trump or even believe in forgiveness,” Cohen stated. “But consider listening before judging. History isn’t always about grand events; sometimes, it’s quieter.”

The first part of the interview airs Thursday at 6 p.m. ET on 77WABC and online through WABC Radio. The second part will be available on Cohen’s show “When You Know… You Know” on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. The White House has not commented on the matter.
