Michael Cohen has been hired to host the Sunday radio slot at 770 WABC, nypost.com reported. WABC owner John Catsimatidis said he checked with the White House and received no objection to the hire. Catsimatidis added that Cohen is now on better terms with President Trump.
“I understand everything is fine,” Catsimatidis said. Cohen will replace former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is taking the summer off. Catsimatidis said Cohen wants a regular five-day show and that he will “probably” grant the request.
Cohen admitted arranging pre-election hush-money payoffs to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. In January he accused New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of forcing him to testify against his former client. “I felt compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking,” Cohen wrote in a Substack post.
On the “Cats Roundtable” Cohen said Trump is entitled to pursue his own agenda after voters elected him. “You don’t have to necessarily agree with every single thing that the president says or does … His goal is to actually do right by the country,” Cohen stated. He added that Trump is using executive power in a unique way to advance his priorities.
