President Donald Trump is expected to appear on the radio show of his former fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen. The interviewed being broadcast later Thursday will be a dramatic public reunion with the man who once called Trump a “Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain” and testified against him both in court and before Congress. Cohen served prison time for what he told a judge was his efforts to cover up Trump's “dirty deeds.” He has since said he and Trump have started to reconcile. Cohen says Trump's taped interview will air on his 77 WABC program Thursday evening and Sunday.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to give officers gloves that deliver painful electric shocks is facing criticism from Democratic elected officials and civil rights advocates, who call it unnecessary and cruel. A notice published Monday says ICE plans to spend up to $20 million to outfit officers and agents with “conductive distraction and de-escalation devices." New York Attorney General Letitia James said Wednesday that she is outraged by the plan and warned that ICE officers who misuse the gloves in her state could face criminal and civil consequences. The Department of Homeland Security, ICE’s parent agency, says it Is working to ensure officers “have the tools and equipment necessary to safely arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens."
