POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump has agreed to be interviewed by Michael Cohen, his former personal attorney who testified against him in a hush money case that resulted in 34 guilty verdicts.

Cohen, who emerged as a key witness in the case, will conduct the interview for his podcast. The details of the interview, including the date and specific topics to be discussed, have not been publicly disclosed.

The hush money case involved payments made to Stormy Daniels to prevent her from discussing an alleged affair with Trump prior to the 2016 election. Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations related to the payments and subsequently became a cooperating witness for prosecutors.

This development comes amid ongoing legal challenges faced by Trump, including investigations into his business practices and his role in the January 6 Capitol riot.
