Michael Cohen says he reconciled with Trump

Cohen said the relationship turned cordial after months of contact, but he gave no details and blamed the political left for part of the reset.

  • On Monday, Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, announced he and Trump have reconciled, ending their years-long public feud. Cohen shared the update during an interview on 77 WABC's 'Cats & Cosby' show.
  • Their relationship fractured during Trump's 2016 hush money trial involving Stormy Daniels, when Trump called Cohen a 'liar.' Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and tax crimes, serving three years in prison after the FBI raided his home and office in 2018.
  • Following a January Substack post, an unnamed 'White House friend and an insider' contacted Cohen with Trump's message expressing 'genuine empathy.' Cohen responded, texting, "We both knew the cost of this war, and in that moment, the ice between us, it didn't just melt, it broke."
  • During his CNN interview, Cohen described their current relationship as 'cordial and growing.' He hopes to visit the White House for a one-on-one meeting with Trump in the coming weeks, pending Trump's approval.
  • The reconciliation stems from shared political pressure Cohen attributed to the left's 'media onslaught.' Cohen previously alleged that New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pressured him to testify against Trump in multiple cases.
