It’s been nearly four years since Michael Cohen went to federal prison, in part because of his role in the Stormy Daniels hush-money scandal. Now a similar fate could be facing his former boss, Donald Trump.

Not only did the brouhaha end Cohen’s relationship with Trump, his main client since 2006, but it got him disbarred.

In August 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to charges including campaign finance violations, tax fraud and bank fraud as he was caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He was disbarred as a lawyer and sentenced to three years in prison.

But Cohen despite being unable to practice as a lawyer — perhaps picking up some tips from his former boss’s famous money-making hustle — has managed to make a living.

The disgraced lawyer and erstwhile taxicab mogul used to live in Trump Tower and dined almost daily at Upper East Side hot spots such as Le Bilboquet and La Goulue.

An exclusive report by The New York Post reveals that meanwhile, he also has a tongue-in-cheek line of merch for the show, which includes personalized orange jumpsuits starting at $59.95, some with “45” on the chest — a reference to Trump, who was the 45th president of the United States. It also includes baseball caps, a novelty “Get out of jail free” card, bumper stickers, mouse mats and beer glasses, among other items.

Some of the other ways that Cohen is hustling to make a living are his books. The Post reports that Cohen penned not one but two books: the New York Times bestseller “Disloyal,” which was published by Skyhorse, and “Dishonest,” published by Melville House.

In 2021, Cohen worked with a company called ArtGrails to create NFTs of his prison badge, we reported.

Fans can also get a personalized video message from Cohen on Cameo for $100, and businesses can hire him to record a message about their company or products for $5,000.

Michael Dean Cohen, according to Wikipedia, was born August 25, 1966 and is an American former lawyer who served as an attorney for U.S. president Donald Trump from 2006 to 2018. Cohen was a vice-president of the Trump Organization, and the personal counsel to Trump, and was often described by media as Trump’s “fixer”. He served as co-president of Trump Entertainment and was a board member of the Eric Trump Foundation, a children’s health charity. From 2017 to 2018, Cohen was deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.

The entire Stormy Daniels story has risen to the top of the news after Trump announced his indictment was imminent. NY AG Bragg, thus far has not indicted the president and the much awaited moment of Trump being arrested still has not occurred.

Alvin Bragg, is trying to bring a case against President Trump over a payment made years ago by his former lawyer to a stripper, could be disbarred if he makes the wrong step in the case, according to legal expert and Harvard professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz.

Dershowitz was on Fox News to respond to questions about the case, and said, “Well, I don’t think an indictment can actually come forward now after the comments made by [witness Robert] Costello. He has proved that the main witness is going to be a perjuring liar on the witness stand. And that puts the district attorney in a terrible position.
