Overview
- President Donald Trump is reported to be set to record a podcast interview with Michael Cohen on Wednesday, with outlets citing an anonymous White House official who said the episode will air the next day.
- The planned appearance would bring Trump onto Cohen’s show despite Cohen’s role as a star witness in the New York hush-money case that produced Trump’s 34-count conviction.
- Reporting notes that the two quietly met at Trump’s Bedminster golf club in summer 2025, a contact that Cohen took as a sign Trump might consider a public appearance on his podcast.
- Coverage relies on an anonymous White House source and on a text message to one outlet from Cohen, so the recording and air date were described as planned but not independently confirmed by both men.
- The reunion links back to Cohen’s guilty pleas for tax and campaign-finance offenses tied to hush-money payments and to courtroom interactions with Todd Blanche, who cross-examined Cohen and was sworn in this month as attorney general.
