Interviewing Ms. Hartmann

Once hailed as a champion for the voiceless, Michelle Hartmann used the law not to protect, but to destroy. Backed by the wealth and influence of the Hartmann dynasty, she blackmailed judges, silenced victims, and defended the indefensible… all to claw her way to the top of New York’s legal elite.

Now, disgraced and disbarred, she’s ready to tell her story.

Or so she says.

In this gripping installment of From the King, relentless journalist Cole King sits down with Hartmann for the interview of his career, an encounter steeped in lies, venom, and unrepentant ambition. Michelle swears she’s telling the truth. Cole is certain she’s not.

What follows is more than an interview, it’s a ruthless battle over truth, power, and the price of corruption.
