11/ McB:
Cohen says he started doing work for Trump, initially at no cost. Finally, Trump asked Cohen to review lengthy documents related to Chapter 11 reorg plan of Trump Entertainment Resorts, so Cohen finally gave Trump a bill for $100k.
Trump summoned Cohen to his office to discuss the bill and asked him if he was happy at his "sleepy little firm," and whether Cohen would want to come work for him instead.
"I was honored, I was surprised," Cohen recalls.
