President Donald Trump has reunited with his former personal lawyer and outspoken critic, Michael Cohen, for a radio interview, marking an unexpected chapter in their long saga. Cohen spoke with Fox News Digital about the 40-minute conversation, which will be broadcast in two parts. This interview represents their first public interaction in almost ten years.
Cohen, who was a key witness in two cases against Trump in New York, shared details about the reunion in a Substack post. His inbox has been inundated with negative messages since it was announced that Trump would join him on his radio show. Cohen noted that many critics are individuals who publicly embrace deep Christian values on their social media profiles.
“One moment, they share motivational memes about divine love and forgiveness, and the next, they express their anger with intense criticism. This irony is noteworthy,” Cohen wrote.
He referenced a verse from Colossians 3:13, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness, which underpins the current interaction between Trump and himself.
Earlier this year, Cohen claimed he felt “pressured and coerced” by New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to testify against Trump. In his latest post, Cohen addressed inquiries about how he and Trump could reunite after years of public conflict.
“The answer is straightforward: we forgave. Not because the past vanished or disagreements became moot. Forgiveness requires courage to prevent the past from dictating the future,” Cohen explained.
Cohen, a regular on liberal cable news networks during his dispute with Trump, pointed out that society tends to favor perpetual outrage. He urged people not to base their identities on antagonism.
Cohen recounted that he and Trump spent about fifteen years working together before their relationship deteriorated. Reflecting on their previous collaboration, Cohen spoke about accountability during a 2024 interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
This week, Cohen decided that past conflicts wouldn’t control the future, asserting that reconciliation doesn’t entail rewriting history. As a result, he and Trump are set to converse, despite their contentious history.
He encouraged listeners to withhold judgment and to consider the discussion as historic in a quieter way.
The first part of the interview is scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m. ET on 77WABC. It will be available through various platforms, including WABC Radio and Cohen’s show, “When You Know… You Know” on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET.
The White House has yet to comment on this news.
