Key Points:

President Donald Trump is set to appear on Michael Cohen's radio show, marking a public reconciliation with his former lawyer and critic who testified against him in court and Congress.
Cohen, who served prison time for covering up Trump's "dirty deeds," confirmed the taped interview will air on his 77 WABC program Thursday evening and Sunday.
Despite their bitter split, Cohen emphasized their 15 years of close friendship and stated, "We forgave," signaling a thaw in their relationship.
Cohen previously testified in Trump's 2024 criminal hush-money trial, which led to Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts, and has also accused Trump of financial fraud in separate cases.
While Trump has not publicly praised Cohen, he has shared social media posts referencing Cohen's claims of prosecutorial pressure, and the White House did not confirm the interview but showed Trump scheduled for a radio taping.
