In a surprising turn of events, Michael Cohen, former lawyer and fixer for Donald Trump, is set to host the ex-president on his new radio show in New York City this Thursday. The interview marks a public reconciliation between the two, following a series of private meetings that saw the former adversaries bury the hatchet after a highly publicized fallout during Trump’s first term.

Cohen, who began his radio hosting gig last month, hinted at the potential fireworks in the upcoming interview. "I suggest you listen to the show. You may find it extremely interesting,” Cohen teased in a conversation with POLITICO.

The relationship between Cohen and Trump has been tumultuous, to say the least. After serving as Trump’s staunch defender, Cohen’s role shifted dramatically as he became a key witness against Trump in a 2024 hush money case. This case notably led to Trump's historic conviction as the first former president to become a convicted felon, primarily over efforts to suppress information about an affair.

Despite their storied past, Cohen’s stance on seeking presidential clemency for his three-year prison sentence remains ambiguous. “We’ll see,” Cohen said regarding whether he would request a pardon during the interview. “Will I make that request down the road? I don’t know. Maybe maybe not.”

Cohen’s reflection on his tumultuous journey includes a candid acknowledgment of his shifting perspectives, particularly highlighted by his critical view of the January 6 Capitol riot and the dire predictions he made about the future of American elections.

Having previously applied for a pardon from both the Trump and Biden administrations, Cohen now seems less focused on reclaiming his law license, a sentiment underscored by his upcoming 60th birthday. “What am I going to go start practicing law again?” he questioned, contemplating the real impact of his disbarment on his current life.

The anticipation surrounding the interview is palpable, with Cohen setting the stage for a riveting exchange. He promised listeners a chance to eavesdrop on a decade-and-a-half-long friendship that has seen its fair share of ups and downs. “What could they talk about?” Cohen posed, leaving the audience in suspense.

This Thursday's radio show promises to not only explore the renewed camaraderie between Cohen and Trump but also potentially delve into the controversial topic of a presidential pardon, making it a must-listen event for those following the ongoing saga of these two high-profile figures.
