This was Michael Cohen’s big moment. President Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer/fixer turned nemesis/witness for the prosecution has apparently turned the page on his stint as a #Resistance figure and made amends with the man who is the only reason most people know Michael Cohen’s name in the first place.
Cohen, who testified against Trump in the latter’s 2024 New York “hush money” trial, hyped the previously recorded sit-down with a post on his Substack titled “The Impossible Reunion” and even previewed the discussion with a livestream Thursday afternoon as a must-hear interview between the two convicted felons.
But the interview portion that aired Thursday was so vapid and backslapping that it seemed to undermine its apparent purpose — to rehabilitate Cohen among the MAGA faithful.
This is a preview of a column by Anthony L. Fisher. Read the full column here.
