The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump called in Thursday to Michael Cohen’s 77 WABC radio show and podcast, marking a public reconciliation with his former personal lawyer and fixer after years of courtroom testimony and public attacks. A preview aired Thursday, with the full interview scheduled for Sunday; Cohen addressed Trump as “boss” and said their relationship was “being resuscitated.” Cohen was a key prosecution witness in Trump’s 2024 New York hush-money trial, which ended in 34 felony convictions. Cohen declined to say whether he would seek a pardon during the interview.

Evasive accountabilityLeans Left

Michael Cohen failed to give straight answers when confronted with his earlier claims that Donald Trump pushed him into criminal conduct. His responses made him look inconsistent and unwilling to take responsibility for what he had previously said under oath.

Fawning reunionLeans Left

Michael Cohen’s public reunion with Donald Trump was not a serious or challenging interview; it was a fawning display of deference. Cohen’s friendly tone looked especially servile because it clashed with his past attacks on Trump and, in one version, appeared tied to his desire for a pardon.
