Michael Cohen’s legal troubles have claimed another victim: his personal memoir.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer met with a number of publishers in New York, pitching a book which had been tentatively titled Trump Revolution: From The Tower to The White House, Understanding Donald J. Trump.

In a copy of the proposal obtained by The Daily Beast, Cohen said that the book would detail his experiences serving as the Trump “family fix-it guy,” and would include his observations about everything from the 2016 campaign to what the proposal described as “the unfortunate saga involving Stephanie Clifford, also known as ‘Stormy Daniels.’”

According to two sources with knowledge of the agreement, Cohen reached a deal to publish the book with Center Street, the conservative imprint of Hachette Book Group. But the same sources told The Daily Beast that in recent weeks, the book deal had been called off amid Cohen’s legal woes.

In the months after shopping the book, Cohen became further engaged in a protracted legal fight with porn-actress Daniels over a $130,000 payment he made to her before the 2016 election to stay silent over her alleged affair with Trump. More seriously, federal prosecutors in New York have been investigating his personal business dealings.

Their revolutions always fuck up the planet. They shouldn't be allowed to revolute anymore.
