Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.
I am interested and there’s a multitude of folks encouraging me to run.
— Michael Cohen, who previously served as Donald Trump’s attorney, in comments given to Semafor on his potential run for Congress. Cohen, who turned into a Trump critic and was disbarred prior to serving more than a year of prison time for charges stemming from his work as the former president’s ex-fixer, would run as a Democrat, challenging Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) for his seat. Cohen most recently testified before a grand jury in the Stormy Daniels case, which resulted in a 34-count felony indictment against Trump.
