CNN anchor Jake Tapper pressed President Donald Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen on whether he stood by his testimony against the president.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Tapper interviewed Cohen about his reunion with Trump. Cohen announced on Thursday that he would publish a podcast interview with Trump. <\/p>\n

Cohen was Trump’s personal lawyer before pleading guilty in 2018 over hush money paid to women alleging affairs, and later served as a star witness in the 2024 trial that ended in a 34-count conviction.<\/p>\n

However, the upcoming interview has prompted questions about their relationship, especially since Cohen has continued to publicly criticize and attack Trump ever since acting as a star witness against him.<\/p>\n

“How would you describe your relationship with the president right now?” Tapper said, to which Cohen responded, “It’s being resuscitated.”<\/p>\n

“You say that you haven’t forgotten the past,” Tapper said. “You testified under oath, obviously, that President Trump directed you to commit crimes. Do you stand by that?”<\/p>\n

“I will not discuss what I had said in the past, what I had stated under oath,” Cohen shot back, speaking over the phone. “I will not go there simply because I want to live for the future.”<\/p>\n

Cohen continued, “I refuse to be pulled back into yesterday’s news and yesterday’s headlines, so that a slew of people can turn around and start to try to pull it apart.”<\/p>\n

He then changed his tone from shouting his defense to speaking hopefully.<\/p>\n

“I truly believe that there is forgiveness between Donald Trump and myself,” Cohen said. “And that to me is what is important right now.”<\/p>\n

Cohen spoke repeatedly about forgiveness between himself and Trump but refused to revisit their 2018 fallout. He maintained that he didn’t forget about it.<\/p>\n

“This forgiveness does not require amnesia. It requires the courage to stop allowing yesterday to dictate tomorrow,” Cohen said.<\/p>\n
