Trump files $500 million lawsuit against former attorney Michael Cohen.
Former President Donald Trump has filed a federal lawsuit against his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen for more than $500 million, alleging a breach of his attorney-client relationship, unjust enrichment, and more. The lawsuit alleges Cohen breached his attorney-client relationship by "spreading falsehoods" about Trump that were "likely to be embarrassing or detrimental, and partook in other misconduct," while also breaching contractual terms of a confidentiality agreement he signed as a condition of employment with Trump. Cohen's attorney called the lawsuit a form of harassment and intimidation against his client.
