Trump files $500 million lawsuit against former lawyer Michael Cohen.

Former US President Donald Trump is suing his former lawyer Michael Cohen for over $500 million, accusing him of violating their attorney-client relationship by revealing Trump's "confidences" and "spreading falsehoods" in books, podcasts, and media appearances. Cohen, who once served as Trump's loyal "fixer," testified before a Manhattan grand jury that later indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The lawsuit comes as Trump is seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and is pleading not guilty in the case. Cohen is poised to be a star witness in any eventual trial in the case, which centers around a hush money payment he made before the 2016 election to a porn star who says she slept with Trump.
