"My name recognition is because of the journey I have been on," Cohen said.
His testimony in Manhattan court came amid him also saying that he worked on pitching a TV show about himself, called "The Fixer," but that it has not yet been picked up by a network.
Cohen has previously floated a potential congressional run, including earlier this month on his TikTok account when he said he would run as a Democrat, the Washington Post reported.

"I am interested and there’s a multitude of folks encouraging me to run," Cohen said of a potential congressional run last year in comments to Semafor.
He also previously ran as a Republican for New York City Council in the early 2000s, Spectrum News previously reported. A Democrat defeated Cohen in his quest for the seat.

Cohen has been slammed as a "grifter" by some critics and legal experts. Last week, a lawyer who formerly advised Cohen, Robert Costello, testified before Congress that Cohen is a serial liar.
