Trump, Cohen to speak for first time in 8 years
Michael Cohen will interview Donald Trump on his radio show Thursday, marking their first public conversation in eight years.
The update
Michael Cohen is set to interview former President Donald Trump on his radio show Thursday. This will be the first public conversation between the two in eight years, according to Cohen. The interview is scheduled to be recorded Thursday morning and will air in parts on that evening and Sunday on Cohen’s show, “When You Know, You Know… with Michael Cohen” on New York’s 770am WABC station.
Why it matters
The interview comes at a time of significant legal and political tension. Cohen previously testified against Trump in criminal and civil trials, contributing to Trump’s conviction on felony counts of falsifying business records. The conversation marks a stark shift in their relationship, which has been marked by public feuds and legal battles.
What to watch
Observers will be closely watching whether Cohen uses the platform to seek a pardon from Trump. The political risks for both men are high, as this interview could impact ongoing legal investigations and public perception. The format and planned questions for the interview remain to be seen.
