Trump appears on former fixer-turned-enemy Michael Cohen's radio show after detente
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump appeared Thursday on his former fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen's radio show, holding a stunning public reunion with the man who once called him a "Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain" and testified against him both in court and before Congress. In an interview with CNN shortly before the radio interview aired, Cohen said he had resubmitted a pardon application to the White House that had been denied by the previous administration, but had yet to receive any response and planned to follow up on Friday. "They weaponized you like nobody's ever been weaponized, like few have been," Trump told Cohen. "I respect the fact that you recanted everything you said," he went on. "That's a big thing that you did." The truce with Cohen makes him the latest in a long line of Trump loyalists who have had public falling-outs with the president but found themselves back in his good graces.
