Trump files $500 million lawsuit against key witness Michael Cohen.

Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against his former fixer, Michael Cohen, accusing him of revealing Trump's confidences and "spreading falsehoods" about him. The lawsuit seeks significant punitive damages against Cohen and directly references his role in the Manhattan district attorney's criminal case against Trump. Legal experts suggest that the lawsuit may be an attempt to pressure Cohen not to testify, but it is unlikely to work. Cohen's lawyer argues that Trump is using the judicial system as a form of harassment and intimidation. The case could potentially be damaging for both Trump and Cohen if it proceeds to the discovery phase.
