- 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.

- 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.
