Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, on Tuesday said that "at least there's a relationship" between his boss and Russian President Vladimir Putin, though Trump has come under fire for his perceived coziness with the autocrat.

"Is there regret for the President having been so quiet, so forgiving of Russia up until now?" CNN's Chris Cuomo asked. "He'd been very forgiving. He was very slow to want to condemn Putin on any level. Now look where we are."

"Now why is that bad? So at least there's a relationship that's been started between the President and President Putin," Cohen replied.

Tensions have risen between the U.S. and Russia after Trump approved a military strike against a Syrian air field on Thursday night in the wake of an apparent chemical weapons attack in Syria that left dozens of civilians dead.

1. Trump is still Putin's puppet-perhaps a bit of lover's spat-but they kissed and all is well now.
