- During the interview, Trump said Cohen had been "weaponized" against him and praised him for recanting his earlier statements.
- Cohen said in a CNN interview that he had resubmitted a pardon application to the White House and had not yet received a response.
- Cohen was a key witness in Trump's 2024 criminal hush-money trial, which ended in Trump's 34-count felony conviction.
Donald Trump appeared Thursday on Michael Cohen's radio show, marking a public reunion between the president and his former fixer-turned-critic. The interview, on Cohen's 77 WABC program, was described as unusually cordial and focused only briefly on their past disputes.
Cohen said he and Trump had spoken multiple times over the past year and that he had decided to move on from their conflict. In his introduction, Cohen framed forgiveness as not erasing what happened, but choosing not to let the past determine the future.
Trump used the interview to praise Cohen's reversal on earlier accusations, while Cohen's own commentary and promotional material emphasized that the two had once shared a long personal relationship before their public break. Cohen also said he had renewed a pardon request to the White House, though he had not yet heard back.
特朗普在与前“修补人”兼旧敌迈克尔·科恩关系缓和后现身其广播节目
周四，唐纳德·特朗普出现在迈克尔·科恩的广播节目中，成为这位总统与前助手、后来的批评者之间一次公开重聚。此次在科恩的 77 WABC 节目中的采访被描述为格外友好，双方对过往争执仅作了简短提及。
科恩说，他和特朗普在过去一年里多次交谈，并表示自己已决定放下这段冲突。在节目开场中，科恩把“宽恕”解释为不是抹去过去，而是不再让过去决定未来。
特朗普在采访中称赞科恩撤回了此前的指控；科恩在节目和宣传文字里则强调，两人曾有长达多年的私人关系，之后才公开决裂。科恩还说，他已向白宫重新提交赦免申请，但尚未收到回复。
