President Donald Trump sat down with his onetime personal attorney Michael Cohen for a radio conversation Thursday, bringing together two figures whose relationship fractured into a highly publicized legal and political battle. The 40-minute discussion marked the first time the former allies have engaged in a public interview since their relationship deteriorated years ago. Cohen confirmed the interview’s completion to Fox News Digital and announced the conversation would be split across two separate broadcasts.

Cohen used a Substack post to address the unexpected nature of the reunion, describing how his inbox filled with negative messages upon announcement of Trump’s appearance on his radio program. He noted that critics claiming Christian values on social media simultaneously attacked him with what he characterized as hypocritical fervor. Cohen drew on religious scripture to frame the interaction, citing Colossians 3:13 about forgiveness as foundational to his decision to reconcile with Trump.

The former Trump aide, who served as a key prosecution witness in two New York cases against the former president, revealed earlier this year that he felt “pressured and coerced” by New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg during their investigation. In his written reflection, Cohen explained that forgiveness does not require forgetting past wrongs but instead demands the strength to prevent history from controlling the future.

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to lying to Congress, campaign finance violations, and tax evasion stemming from his work for Trump, serving three years in prison before completing his sentence in home confinement. His commentary emphasized that reconciliation differs fundamentally from rewriting history, urging observers to listen before judgment. The first segment airs Thursday at 6 p.m. ET on 77WABC, with the conclusion set for Sunday at 5 p.m. ET on Cohen’s “When You Know… You Know” program.
