Trump tells Cohen he was ‘weaponized’ in feud
Trump praised Michael Cohen for recanting his claims as Cohen said he is seeking a pardon and their relationship is being resuscitated.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump appeared on Michael Cohen's New York radio program, WABC, in a roughly 15-minute preview segment where Cohen called him 'boss' and described their relationship as 'being resuscitated.'
- Cohen resubmitted a pardon application to Trump after President Joe Biden denied his previous petition, reviving a bond that fractured in 2018 when Cohen pleaded guilty to federal charges including tax fraud and campaign-finance violations.
- Trump praised Cohen for having 'recanted,' while the Manhattan District Attorney and New York Attorney General allegedly used pressure to obtain testimony against him—claims Trump has publicly seized upon to question the prosecutions.
- Legal analyst Elie Honig called the resubmission a 'fascinating social experiment,' noting Cohen took the same application previously supported by liberal voices and resubmitted it to Trump, raising questions about continued support from his former allies.
- Cohen's full interview with Trump airs at 5 p.m. ET this Sunday on 'When You Know You Know,' marking their first public conversation since their falling out and providing the next platform for demonstrating renewed alignment.
