Trump Sues Fmr Lawyer Cohen for More Than $500 Million

Former President Donald Trump is suing his former lawyer Michael Cohen for more than $500 million, according to a filing in a Florida court Wednesday.

Newsmax has confirmed the filing through a source familiar with Trump’s legal team. The lawsuit is unrelated to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s 34-count indictment of Trump for falsifying business records.

Cohen testified before a Manhattan grand jury that later indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Trump is seeking damages from Cohen in a trial for compensatory, incidental, actual, and punitive losses.

“This is an action arising from multiple breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, conversion, and breaches of contract by virtue of past service as employee and attorney,” the lawsuit read.
