Former President Donald Trump filed on Wednesday a civil complaint against his former lawyer Michael Cohen for more than $500 million in damages resulting from Cohenâs alleged breach of his attorney-client duties with Trump, unjust enrichment, and other causes, a Trump spokesperson confirmed with The Epoch Times.
âThe lawsuit and the many wrongdoings by Michael Cohenâa convicted felonâstand for themselves, and have been admitted to by Cohen himself through his falsehood-filled books, podcasts, and constant media appearances,â a Trump spokesperson wrote to The Epoch Times in a statement. The lawsuit was filed in the Southern District Court of New York on Tuesday.
Cohenâs conduct after his 12-year attorney-client relationship with Trump ending in 2018 consisted of âmultiple breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, conversion, and breaches of contract,â as well as âspreading falsehoodsâ about Trump that would likely be âembarrassing or detrimental,â the lawsuit alleges.
