Michelle Obama returns to NYC to mine Wall Street funds for DNC

Just when we thought there couldn’t be any more Democratic donors on Wall Street with money left to channel to the DNC, Michelle Obama is back in town for another “intimate” fund-raiser.

Evercore Partners’ Charles Myers is hosting a “round-table discussion” with the first lady at his Midtown home July 10 with tickets from $10,000 to $32,400.

Myers e-mailed prospective attendees including Wall Street colleagues, “This will be a small lunch limited to only 20 guests, and therefore an opportunity to have an open conversation with the first lady on a wide range of issues (as well as a personal photo opportunity).”

He added, perhaps with Hillary Clinton in mind, “I’m sure you are aware of the various efforts to convince certain candidates to run in 2016. The most effective way that we can ensure the Democrats keep the White House is to make the [DNC] as strong as possible today.”
