Michael Cohen is getting a new radio gig at 77 WABC. Station owner John Catsimatidis says he “checked with the White House” and heard no objections. That short sentence set off a pile-on in the media — suddenly a weekend program equals a presidential peace treaty. Hold your applause.
WABC hire is the only thing on solid ground
The fact here is simple and verifiable: Michael Cohen will host a weekend show on 77 WABC beginning July 12. The station announced the booking and Catsimatidis publicly praised the choice. Those are straightforward facts. What is not straight is the leap from “we put him on the air” to “the fixer and President Trump kissed and made up.”
Where the “truce” story falls apart
The idea that this all came together because of an “unexpected text” is thin. That claim comes from a podcast and from Lev Parnas, who says the last message read, “let’s be friends.” There’s no public White House confirmation, no copy of the text, and no on-the-record statement from President Trump. Parnas is a controversial figure with a criminal record. Relying on him alone is a bad look for anyone who calls themselves a fact-checker.
Remember who Michael Cohen is. He was President Trump’s lawyer and fixer, then a convicted felon who flipped and testified in high-profile cases. He has also complained this year about prosecutors and published claims on Substack. So ask the obvious questions: Is this new radio job about cash, image repair, a pardon play, or real reconciliation? Catsimatidis says he “checked with the White House.” He should say who he spoke with and when. Cohen should be asked to produce the text if he wants his “truce” to be believed.
For now, treat the cozy headlines as just that: headlines. The confirmed story is a media hire. The reconciliation tale is unverified and rests on hearsay. If President Trump really sent a “let’s be friends” text, let him say it out loud. If not, the rest is PR theater — and Cohen would know a thing or two about producing a show. Tune in if you want to hear him. But don’t let the narrative outpace the proof.
