President Donald Trump and his former attorney Michael Cohen engaged in a friendly interview that aired on Sunday, marking their first public conversation since Cohen's testimony in Trump's hush money trial. During the interview, they discussed various topics, including Trump's proposed ballroom and the state of the economy during his second term. Cohen referred to Trump as 'boss,' and they explored the reasons behind public disdain for Trump. Trump attributed Cohen's previous testimony against him to pressure from New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Cohen, who previously labeled Trump with negative terms, expressed a desire to focus on the future rather than past grievances. He also mentioned submitting a pardon application to Trump's administration after being denied by the Biden administration. Cohen served prison time for campaign finance violations related to payments made to Stormy Daniels. He stated that while he has not forgotten past events, he is choosing to forgive and move forward.
