Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former private attorney and current thorn in the side, has chatted with Rev. Al Sharpton — who is teasing about airing a possible interview with him on MSNBC.

“Just spent an hour w/ Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney. I bet you’re wondering what we could be talking about! Stay tuned,” the civil rights activist tweeted.

“I’ve known @MichaelCohen212 for maybe 20 years. He was a Democrat. He used to broker meetings between Trump and I when we were fighting,” Sharpton said in a second tweet.

Cohen, whose recent comments have led some to speculate he may be cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into possible Russian collusion in the 2016 election, also trumpeted their sit-down.

“I have know Rev for almost 20 years,” Cohen wrote on Twitter about the host of MSNBC’s Sunday show “PoliticsNation.” “No one better to talk to!”

Longtime Sharpton spokeswoman Rachel Noerdlinger said Cohen recently contacted Sharpton, a frequent Trump critic, and they met at a Manhattan hotel for about an hour.

MSNBC did not immediately reply to a question by The Post about if and when an interview might air.

An interview would be Cohen’s second with a news outlet in recent weeks after sitting with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos earlier this month.

On Monday, Cohen tweeted his support for US intelligence agencies and berated Russia in a clear rebuke of his old boss’s Helsinki press performance.

Cohen is under investigation by federal prosecutors in New York over his business dealings and had his home and office raided in April. He has not been charged with any crime.

He has been in the spotlight since it was revealed that he paid porn vixen Stormy Daniels $139,000 in the waning days of the 2016 presidential election to keep mum about an alleged decade-old sexual liaison with Trump.

The White House has denied that Trump had a sexual encounter with Daniels, though the president has more recently said he was aware Cohen was making the payment at the time.
