Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen is considering a run for office. According to a report from Politico, Cohen is eyeing Rep. Jerry Nadler’s seat; a long-shot bid for a deep-blue Manhattan congressional district.
From Politico:
Cohen would run as a Democrat for New York’s 12th congressional district, he confirmed to POLITICO, which is currently held by Rep. Jerry Nadler. But any run to topple the 31-year incumbent would be difficult, given Nadler’s longtime status in the area and deep support among powerful Jewish communities in his district.
The former lawyer worked for Trump for more than a decade, doing stints in the Trump Organization, the Trump 2016 campaign and at the RNC. Cohen was sentenced to federal prison in December 2018 after he pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and related crimes that stemmed from his time working for the former president.
