Staff Reports
President Donald Trump is set to sit down for an interview with his one‑time fixer, Michael Cohen, on Cohen’s new WABC radio program. Reports say the recorded conversation will run in parts Thursday night, with more excerpts on Cohen’s Sunday show. Yes, you read that right — the man who once testified against the president will now be asking the questions.
What reporters are saying about the Trump–Cohen interview
Multiple outlets report that Michael Cohen reached out to the White House and that President Donald Trump agreed to the recorded interview. Cohen now hosts weekend radio on WABC, and station owner John Catsimatidis has been linked to Cohen’s assignment. Some accounts cite an unnamed White House official confirming the plan, but we still need on‑the‑record details from the White House, WABC, and Cohen’s team about how much will air and whether the exchange will be shown in full.
Why this moment matters
This isn’t just another celebrity chat. Cohen used to be Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer. He later became a prosecution witness in the Manhattan hush‑money case that led to President Trump’s 34‑count conviction. So the optics are huge: a man once in the dock now hosting the man he helped send to trial. Voters deserve to know whether this is a genuine conversation, a scripted reconciliation, or pure political theater.
The strange reunion and the questions it raises
It’s a strange twist. Cohen once promised to “take a bullet” for Trump and then turned witness against him. Now Cohen says he reached out and Trump agreed. That raises obvious questions: Who picked the topics? Who controls the tape? Did the White House clear the move with station owners? Transparency matters. If this is meant to burnish Trump’s image, he has the right instinct to control the narrative — but conservatives should also demand clarity, not just clever optics.
What to watch for when the interview airs
Listen for the hard parts. Will Cohen press on the hush‑money case, or will the show stay on softballs? Will full audio and a transcript be released, or will audiences get cherry‑picked clips? Watch for whether this is a one‑off PR maneuver or the start of a wider messaging push ahead of the campaign trail. Tune in if you want the theater. Read the transcript if you want the truth.
