President Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has a “pen pal” in anti-Trump celebrity Rosie O’Donnell.
Ms. O’Donnell told Howard Stern that she met with the former presidential fixer — who is completing a three-year sentence for campaign-finance violations and tax evasion — in New York’s Otisville Federal Correctional Institution.
“He asked me to come visit him after a bunch of letters back and forth,” Ms. O’Donnell said during “The Howard Stern Show” on Tuesday. “And I was like — this is before the corona[virus] thing. I said, ’OK, I’ll take one afternoon and go up there.’ And I thought I’d be there for an hour. I was there for six-and-a-half hours sitting next to him, talking to him.”

“So what did you ask Michael Cohen,” Mr. Stern, shocked, replied.
“Everything,” said the celebrity activist. “[He apologized] not only for threatening to sue me but every bad name that they came up with, that Trump came up with. You know, Michael ran that show for 15 years. … It was him.”
Ms. O’Donnell added that her pen pal looks “fit” for a man behind bars.
“He looks thin. He looks fit. He looks rested,” she said.
Mr. Cohen maintains that he was a fall guy for dispensing hush payments to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels and ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal over alleged affairs with the billionaire.
Mr. Trump has consistently denied each woman’s claims.
