President Donald J. Trump will be interviewed by former “fixer” Michael Cohen, his disgraced ex-lawyer who was the star witness in one of the lawfare cases against him.
MS NOW first reported that the convicted felon will interview the president eight years after he spilled his guts to the feds, was sent to a cushy federal prison, and emerged as one of Trump’s fiercest critics, endearing him to leftists who hailed him as a hero of the resistance.
“I regret doing things for him that I should not have,” the snitch said under oath. “To keep the loyalty and to do the things that he asked me to do, I violated my moral compass.”

Cohen testified against his former client during the Stormy Daniels “hush money” trial, a lurid spectacle of sleaze centered on alleged payments to the pornographic movie “actress” that ended with a New York City jury convicting Trump of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
“This is the first public conversation between the president and myself in eight years,” Cohen told CBS News, confirming the MS NOW report. “You know, there have been private conversations that have, of course, been reported. But this is the first public conversation.”
“I was a permanent fixture in his office, most specifically the far-right red velvet chair,” he said of the time before he was flipped by the feds and ratted Trump out.
“I truly f**king hope that this man ends up in prison,” Cohen previously said of his former client. “You better believe I want this man to go down and rot inside for what he did to my family.”
Trump had savagely lashed out at his former attorney, but apparently all of it is water under the bridge now with Cohen recently revealing a thaw in relations during a conversation with WABC hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby last month.
“Out of nowhere, when I was sitting with my wife at a restaurant, my phone buzzed and it was a text from that friend who expressed to me the president’s genuine empathy for the hell that I was being dragged through … I deeply appreciated that text,” he explained. “I actually texted the president. I thanked him. Expressed my sincere hope that this long, exhausting feud between the two of us could finally end.”
Cohen said that the president replied “almost immediately” and told him that it is “actually time for us to meet.”
“We both knew the cost of this war,” he said of the falling out with Trump. “In that moment the ice between us, it didn’t just melt, it broke.”
Prior to the 2024 election, Cohen said that he planned to flee the country if Trump won.
“I’m out of here. I’m already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name,” he said.
The interview is set to air on Thursday and Sunday on the “When You Know, You Know… with Michael Cohen” on New York City-based 770 AM WABC.
