Donald Trump Drops the Hammer, Files Lawsuit Against Former Attorney Michael Cohen Seeking $500 Million

A Fox News exclusive today reported that former President and 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against his former attorney Michael Cohen.

According to the report, Trump seeks $500 million from the attorney turned far-left darling and key witness in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump.

However, the lawsuit reportedly has nothing to do with that case, rather, it alleges that Cohen breached the attorney-client relationship, unjust enrichment, and more.

The more-than 30-page federal lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida by Trump’s legal team today.

Fox News reported that the lawsuit states, “This is an action arising from [Cohen’s] multiple breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, conversion and breaches of contract by virtue of [Cohen’s] past service as [Trump’s] employee and attorney.”

Cohen breached his attorney-client relationship by “spreading falsehoods” about Trump that were “likely to be embarrassing or detrimental and partook in other misconduct,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also claims that those alleged misdeeds took place while also breaching the contractual terms of a confidentiality agreement he signed as a condition of employment with Trump.

In addition, it is alleged that Cohen has, in recent months, “increased the frequency and hostility of the illicit acts” and “appears to have become emboldened and repeatedly continues to make wrongful and false statements” about Trump through various platforms.

Trending Politics co-owner Collin Rugg announced the news on Twitter in a tweet where he said, “BREAKING: Donald Trump has sued his former attorney Michael Cohen for $500 million. Let the fun begin.”
