Michael was lobbying EVERYONE to be “Chief of Staff.” It was the biggest joke in the campaign and around the office. Did he just perjure himself again?

Many are now claiming that Cohen is lashing out against President Trump because he did not get a job in the White House. Eric Trump tweeted that the joke between members of the campaign was that Cohen was lobbying everyone to try and get the Chief of staff position. Donald Trump Jr. also joined in the conversation and called Cohen “delusional”.
“Nailed it. It really was the biggest joke of the entire transition. The beginning of his bitterness was when he realized that was never going to happen. #Delusional.”
