  "account": "Michael Cohen, the former fixer of President Donald Trump, is set to interview his former boss on his radio show on Thursday. This marks the first public conversation between the two in eight years, according to Cohen. Cohen spent over a decade as Trump's right-hand man, deeply involved in the Trump Organization's dealings and the president's private matters. However, their relationship deteriorated during Trump's first years in the White House, primarily due to Cohen's involvement in a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Cohen pleaded guilty to financial and campaign finance crimes in 2018 and served over a year in prison. He has since built a career criticizing Trump and testifying against him in civil and criminal trials in New York, resulting in Trump's conviction of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to the Daniels matter. Despite his criticisms, Cohen has reportedly reconciled with Trump, as he reached out to the White House and received an agreement for the interview. The call will be recorded and aired in parts on Cohen's radio show \"When You Know, You Know… with Michael Cohen\" on New York's 770AM WABC station.",
