Trump appears on radio show of Michael Cohen, fixer-turned-foe, after detente
President Trump appeared on the radio show of Michael Cohen, his fixer-turned-foe, in a stunning public reunion that would have been impossible to imagine several years ago.
On Thursday, President Trump appeared on the radio show of Michael Cohen, his former fixer and adversary. This marked a significant reconciliation between the two men, following Cohen's testimony against Trump in court and before Congress. For Cohen, who served time for his role in covering up Trump's alleged "dirty deeds," the interview symbolized a detente that seemed impossible just a few years ago.
The conversation was notably friendly, with Trump acknowledging Cohen's recent recantation of his testimony and praising him for doing so. Following the interview, Cohen revealed he had resubmitted a pardon application to the White House, which the previous administration had denied. He planned to follow up and intends to call the White House to inquire about its status.
The reconciliation between Trump and Cohen represents a trend of former loyalists who have fallen out with Trump but later returned to his favor.
