MS NOW: Trump To Be Interviewed by His Former Counsel Michael Cohen
EXCERPT:
PALMERI: “Well, first of all, when Michael asked me to call him, it was last June 2025. And when he said, I’D like President Trump’s number because he knew that I had contacted him and wrote about my report — wrote about our conversation, he knew that I had the number. So I wasn’t in a position where I was like, was I going to say, no, I’m not going to give it to you. But he said to me, Tara, I know him better than anyone else. I think I can get to him. I think I can repair this relationship. And I thought that was shocking at the time. I was like, how could they ever repair that relationship? He went to jail for 3 years, right, for the hush money payment, like you said. He spent the rest of his time after that writing a book. He’s a bestseller, Substack. He’s got YouTube shows. He’s on multiple platforms. Creating an entire career against President Trump. And yet here he is thinking that he could repair the relationship. And I was in shock. But he said, no, I know him better than anyone else. I know how I can get back into his good graces. I gave it to him, but I didn’t think that it would work, to be completely honest. Obviously, we saw in ‘The New York Times’ that shortly after I gave him that call — that phone number — he made a phone call and he — he managed to meet him in Bedminster at his private, you know, golf course. A few months later, they reconciled privately.”
