NEW: Former President Trump sues Michael Cohen for alleged “breaches of fiduciary duty,' and is seeking more than $500 million in damages.
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump filed a lawsuit in federal court on Wednesday against his former lawyer Michael Cohen — who has emerged as a key witness in the criminal case against the former president — seeking more than $500 million in damages for alleged"breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, conversion, and breaches of contract."
The complaint accuses Cohen of violating his attorney-client relationship with Trump by publicly disclosing information about the former president and “spreading falsehoods about [Trump], likely to be embarrassing or detrimental, and partook in other misconduct in violation of New York Rules of Professional Conduct.”
Trump’s attorney said that Cohen did those things with “malicious intent and to wholly self-serving ends.” “Defendant has engaged in such wrongful conduct over a period of time and, despite being demanded in writing to cease and desist such unacceptable actions, has instead in recent months increased the frequency and hostility of the illicit acts toward Plaintiff,” Trump’s lawyer wrote.
