In this episode of Mea Culpa, Michael Cohen sits down with Dan Abrams for a wide-ranging conversation on the intersection of law, media, and politics in America today. From high-profile investigations and courtroom battles to the growing influence of cable news and social media on public perception, Cohen and Abrams break down how narratives are shaped—and how trust in institutions continues to erode in real time. Together, they examine the role of the press, the pressure facing the justice system, and why finding the truth has become harder than ever in today’s political climate.
