Reunited and it… sounded so cordial.
President Donald Trump praised his former attorney Michael Cohen for doing a “brave thing” and recanting — as the president described it — his testimony against Trump during a Sunday interview on Cohen’s WABC 77 radio program in New York.
The president said Cohen fell victim to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and a Democrat-run “weaponized government,” which Trump said reminded him of something out of the Wild West. Trump said the rigged system forced Cohen to warp his testimony.
“Look, you took back, you recanted your testimony,” Trump said. “They forced you to do that. They threatened you with jail, they threatened you with everything if you didn’t go against Trump — and you took it back. I wouldn’t even be talking to you right now if you didn’t, to be honest. You did something very few people have done.”
Trump then said he vividly remembered the “disgraceful” FBI “attack” on Cohen’s office in 2018, before going back to bashing Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
He continued:
A lot of people wouldn’t have been able to take it. You took it for a while, in all fairness, then they broke you down — but you came back.
Look, Tish James and Alvin Bragg, what they did to you — and they used you, and what you did was actually a brave thing, because you said what they did was wrong. They forced you to say things you didn’t want to say, they forced you to say things that were false, because they have a threat with jail — and every other thing, probably, I don’t know, I never spoke to you about that — but probably the worst things that you can imagine.
Trump added, “I think it’s so amazing that you came out and you told the story and people respect you for doing it.”
Cohen said not everyone respects him for it — and that a lot of people hate him for his reversal, actually.
Trump’s remarks come after Cohen served as a key witness in a 2023 civil action brought by James on charges Trump fraudulently inflated his business assets; Cohen also served as a key witness in a 2024 criminal action that became known as the “Stormy Daniels hush money” case, which was orchestrated by Bragg.
Cohen and Trump had a public falling out afterwards, which led to many political observers being stunned the president would go on his radio show. But the door to a reunion opened earlier this year, when Cohen said he “felt pressured and coerced” to mold his testimony to bolster a political witch hunt against Trump — a claim which spurred progressive media company MeidasTouch Network to cut ties with Cohen hours later.
