Cohen's suit claimed he and the Trump Organisation made an agreement that the company would repay his legal costs.
Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years for fraud, tax evasion, lying to Congress, and illegal campaign contributions.
“The Trump Organisation’s failure, without any reasonable basis, to pay Mr Cohen’s attorneys’ fees and costs and other amounts incurred by Mr Cohen in service to and at the behest of the Organization and its principals, directors, and officers, constitutes a breach of the Trump Organisation’s indemnification obligations,” said the lawsuit, filed in New York.
In the lawsuit, Cohen notes his former position as executive vice president and special counsel at the Trump Organisation, where he became known as Trump’s fixer. He was also a Trump campaign advisor.
