Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against his former lawyer Michael Cohen for more than $500 million. The news was revealed through a document filed in Florida court on Wednesday.
Cohen, who is from Long Island, testified before a Manhattan grand jury that ultimately indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The indictment concerns the Trump Organization’s alleged falsification of financial records to obtain loans and tax breaks.
The lawsuit against Cohen is not surprising given the tension between the two men. Cohen had been a staunch Trump ally before turning against him, accusing the former president of various misconduct.
This latest legal action could add fuel to an already bitter public spat between Trump and Cohen. How the lawsuit will play out and how it turns out remains to be seen, but it’s sure to garner a lot of media attention in the weeks and months ahead.
