Michael Cohen's secret dream: Becoming mayor of New York

On election night 2016, shortly after Donald Trump’s team realized he would win the presidency, Michael Cohen told a handful of people on the 14th floor of Trump Tower about his own dreams for the future — to be mayor of New York.

“This is the beginning of a dynasty,” Cohen told the group, according to a source who heard him.

Surprised by the remark, one of the people asked Trump’s longtime personal attorney that if by “dynasty” he meant Ivanka or Don Junior was going to get the political bug next.

Cohen replied: “I’ve already got the bug.”

Cohen then added: “Nobody’s going to be able to fuck with us. I think I’m going to run for mayor.”
