Exclusive | Trump’s turncoat former fixer Michael Cohen lands new gig at WABC radio

If President Trump can make a comeback, why not Michael Cohen?

Trump’s turncoat former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen has landed a gig at 770 WABC radio, The Post has confirmed.

Cohen told The Post that the new gig will be “completely liberating” and give him an “unfiltered pipeline to the people.”

“I’m moving my 1.5 million followers from my podcasts, YouTube, and Substack over to this new platform, and it’s an absolute rush to have a space where I can give them the plain, unvarnished truth,” Cohen told The Post on Sunday.

“I love it. Radio is intimate, it’s just my voice going straight into your car or your headphones,” Cohen added. “You can’t fake it here; listeners can smell BS from a mile away. And believe me, after everything I’ve been through, I know exactly what BS smells like, and I’m here to call it out every single day.”

He said he wants to focus on “accountability” and speak for the “Tired Majority” who are “completely exhausted by endless fighting in DC that does absolutely nothing to help everyday Americans.”

“I’m here to use my past and my insider knowledge to pull back the curtain and set the record straight for them,” Cohen said.

WABC owner John Catsimatidis, a major Trump supporter, said Cohen and the president have smoothed things over.

“I checked with the White House and they had no objection,” Catsimatidis said. “I understand everything is fine.”

The former Trump fixer wouldn’t comment about any recent conversations with the president, saying he was “focused on the future.”

“I was told the president  gave me a glowing recommendation for this gig because he believes I’m going to be the next Rush Limbaugh,” Cohen said.

Cohen will get the Sunday radio host slot, replacing ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is taking the summer off.

Catsimatidis said Cohen wants a regular five-day show, and he’ll “probably” give it to him.

Cohen admitted arranging pre-election hush-money payoffs to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, both of whom claimed to have had affairs with Trump, during Trump’s successful 2016 White House bid.

Trump denies the affairs.

Cohen then became a star witness in two cases against his former boss.

But Cohen now appears to be making nice with Trump.

In January, Cohen accused both New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of forcing him to testify against his former client, as part of their civil fraud and “hush money” cases against the now-sitting president.

“I felt compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking,” Cohen wrote in a Substack post. “Letitia James and Alvin Bragg may not share the same office or political calendar, but they share the same playbook.”

Cohen mostly complimented Trump on the air Sunday when his new boss, Catsimatidis, interviewed 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. You may not agree with his methodology, but it’s his methodology,” Cohen said on the “Cats Roundtable.”

“The American people voted for him to be President of the United States. Every single president comes to the Oval Office with their own agenda. Donald Trump is entitled to his own agenda. If you didn’t like it, if you didn’t want it, then maybe you should’ve gotten out and voted. But you didn’t. Seventy-nine million people … voted for the man, and so allow him to fulfill his agenda.

He said Trump is leveraging his executive power to push his agenda.

“What Donald Trump is doing is he’s … using executive power in a way that is unique … He’s willing to do something that no other politician has ever done before. He’s using his power and he’s pressing it to the line, stepping over the line, just to see each day how much further that he can advance his executive powers so that he can actually effectuate his agenda in the way that he believes is beneficial to the American people,” Cohen said.

He added, “When I used to work for him, God knows how many hours every single day, I was known as one of the people who was willing to tell him maybe not what he wants to hear. He would accept that, and he would either use it or discard it. It’s his prerogative. He’s president of the United States. It’s definitively his prerogative.”
