ODonnell said she struck up her unlikely friendship with Cohen as he was in the upstate Otisville federal prisonserving a three-year sentencefor lying to Congress and making illegal hush-money payments.
I wrote him a letter the day that Trump got impeached, ODonnell, 58, told the Daily Beast, saying she found his inmate number online.
She forgave him for his attacks on her in a letter she says left him so moved he started crying.

In that letter, she told Cohen that she found it mind-boggling that he was sitting in jail for doing exactly what the boss told you to do.
No matter how long it took you, youll be known and respected for that as much as any horror youve committed through him, she wrote.
The letter sparked an unlikely friendship between the pair, with the former View host eventually visiting him in prison for six hours, she said in the interview published in part on Saturday.

Michael and I talked a lot about how he got involved in Trump, how its a cult, and what role he played not only in Trump Inc., she told the site in an interview published Saturday.
The 53-year-old disbarred lawyer then discussed his impending tell-all about his years with Trump, with ODonnell offering advice following her own success penning memoirs.
He told me what chapters he was doing in his book, and on my way home, I was writing about what had happened between us, and I gave him my breakdown of things that should be in chapters.
I said, You should tell this story as a chapter, you should tell this story as a chapter,' she said of the advice she gave.
Despite their troubled relationship in the past, ODonnell said she always felt she could relate to Cohen because he always looked to me like someone from my neighborhood.
He grew up on Long Island like I did, hes a few years younger, and he reminds me of my brothers. I look at this guy and go, How did he fall under the spell of that charlatan? she said.
