After years of bitter public attacks and legal battles, Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, says he and the president have repaired their relationship, revealing that the two reconciled several months ago following a personal exchange of messages.

Speaking on the “Cats & Cosby Show” on 77 WABC with John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby, Cohen said the reconciliation took place about six months ago. He also claimed that, ironically, it was the actions of the “far left” that ultimately led to the restoration of his relationship with Trump.

“Out of nowhere, when I was sitting with my wife at a restaurant, my phone buzzed and it was a text from that friend who expressed to me the president’s genuine empathy for the h— that I was being dragged through … I deeply appreciated that text,” Cohen said. “I actually texted the president. I thanked him. Expressed my sincere hope that this long, exhausting feud between the two of us could finally end.”

According to Cohen, Trump responded almost immediately, telling him that it was “actually time for us to meet.”

Reflecting on the moment, Cohen said, “We both knew the cost of this war. In that moment the ice between us, it didn’t just melt, it broke.”

Cohen also said he believes he was embraced by political opponents of Trump only so long as he served their agenda.

“The left embraced me as their ultimate weapon against” Trump, he said, but after he “deviated from their script, the pack, they turned feral.”

During the interview, Cohen also addressed Trump’s past association with Jeffrey Epstein, insisting that he never witnessed any improper connection between the two. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein.

“I never once witnessed, I never heard of, I never saw, I never communicated, never saw in the office Jeffrey Epstein,” he said. “Never saw him speak to him … Those two things shattered [the left’s] narrative. The far left, they literally went on this absolute warpath against me.”

Cohen’s relationship with Trump unraveled publicly after he acknowledged during the 2024 hush money case, claiming he acted at Trump’s direction.

In 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and tax evasion. He later admitted to lying to Congress, receiving a prison sentence before being released in late 2021 after serving part of his sentence under house arrest.

He later became the prosecution’s central witness in the New York case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Trump and the Trump Organization, testifying that he had “reverse-engineered” Trump’s financial statements.

Trump was ultimately convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the criminal case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Last month, the president appealed both that conviction and the civil fraud judgment entered against him.

Cohen’s latest comments stand in sharp contrast to statements he made during the 2024 presidential campaign, when he insisted he would flee the United States if Trump returned to the White House.

“I’m out of here. I mean, I’m already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name,” Cohen told MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace. “I don’t know how it’s going to work, as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don’t want them moving to where I’m looking to go.”
