Michael Cohen's long and winding relationship with his former boss, President Trump, is poised to take another unexpected turn Thursday when the man he testified against in two separate trials calls into his radio show.
Cohen told CBS News that he is set to interview the president on his program, confirming a report from MS NOW .
Cohen spent more than a decade as Mr. Trump's "fixer," his right-hand man, intimately involved in the Trump Organization's dealmaking and Mr. Trump's private matters.
"I was a permanent fixture in his office, most specifically the far-right red velvet chair," Cohen said Wednesday. But the relationship fell apart during Mr. Trump's first years in the White House, as scrutiny mounted over a $130,000 payment Cohen made on Mr. Trump's behalf to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
