Donald Trump's company and his former longtime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen have settled a lawsuit over Cohen's claims that he was unfairly stuck with big legal bills after getting entangled in investigations into the former president.
Lawyers for the two sides told the judge they had reached a settlement during a video conference Friday in Manhattan, just as Cohen's 2019 lawsuit was slated to go to trial Monday in a state court. Details of the agreement were not made public.
But, Cohen said, the company reneged after he began cooperating with federal prosecutors in their investigations related to Trump's business dealings in Russia and attempts to silence women with embarrassing stories about his personal life. While the former president would not have been a witness in the trial, his son Donald Trump Jr. was expected to testify.
