Trump to Talk to Former Fixer

Michael Cohen, the former fixer for President Trump, will interview his former boss on his radio show 'When You Know, You Know… with Michael Cohen' on New York's 770am WABC station. This will be the first public conversation between Cohen and Trump in eight years.

Cohen spent more than a decade as Trump's 'fixer' and right-hand man, intimately involved in the Trump Organization's dealmaking and Trump's private matters. However, their relationship fell apart during Trump's first years in the White House, as scrutiny mounted over a $130,000 payment Cohen made on Trump's behalf to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to financial and campaign finance crimes and lying to Congress, and spent more than a year in prison. He later testified against Trump in his civil and criminal trials in New York, helping to get Trump convicted of 34 felony counts of falsification of business records tied to the Daniels matter.

The interview will air in parts on Thursday evening and Sunday on Cohen's radio show. Cohen has been a vocal critic of Trump, but appears to have had a change of heart this year, writing in his Substack newsletter in January that he 'felt pressured and coerced' by prosecutors.

## Why it matters The interview between Cohen and Trump is significant, given their complex and tumultuous history. Cohen's testimony played a crucial role in Trump's conviction, and their public conversation could provide insight into their relationship and the events that led to the conviction. The stakes are high, as the conversation could potentially impact Trump's reputation and Cohen's own public image.

The interview will likely be closely watched, given the controversy surrounding Trump and Cohen's past dealings. The fact that Cohen is now giving Trump a platform to speak could be seen as a significant development, and may raise questions about Cohen's motivations and the potential implications of their conversation.
