Mea Culpa

Welcome to the NEW HOME of Mea Culpa – the ONLY place to find new episodes of Michael Cohen’s hit podcast. Cohen, the former attorney and personal “fixer” for Donald J. Trump, once vowed to take a bullet for the President. But that was before the country was brought to its knees by Trump’s lies and personal madness. While Cohen was imprisoned in his own home, with his life, reputation, and livelihood destroyed, he went on a mission to right the wrongs he perpetuated on behalf of his former boss. Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen, is a raw and unfiltered podcast that shines light into the dark corners of our current American Apocalypse. Tune in twice weekly for exclusive interviews and candid conversations with the New York Times best-selling author and self-proclaimed “gangster lawyer,” as he sets to dismantle the Trump legacy and uncover the truth… and nothing but the truth.
