Donald Trump and Michael Cohen Reunite for Interview

On August 20, 2026, President Donald Trump and his former attorney Michael Cohen participated in a phone interview on Cohen's radio show, marking a significant shift in their previously contentious relationship. This reunion comes after years of conflict, during which Cohen testified against Trump in multiple legal proceedings, describing him in harsh terms. During the interview, Cohen referenced themes of forgiveness and reconciliation, while Trump acknowledged their past, stating that Cohen had been 'weaponized.' Cohen, who served a three-year prison sentence for various crimes linked to his work for Trump, expressed a desire for their past conflicts not to define his life. The interview is set to air on August 21, 2026, at 5 p.m. ET. Trump and Cohen's relationship deteriorated in 2018 amid investigations into Trump's business practices, leading to Cohen's guilty plea and subsequent cooperation with prosecutors. Despite their past, Cohen indicated that he does not wish to retract his previous statements about Trump, while Trump has denied any wrongdoing. The two have reportedly met in person on two occasions since last year, with Cohen describing their meetings as warm.
