Trump files $500 million lawsuit against former lawyer Michael Cohen.

Former President Donald Trump has sued his former lawyer and key witness in his criminal case, Michael Cohen, for "vast reputational harm" for publicly discussing the hush-money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign. The lawsuit accuses Cohen of violating a confidentiality agreement, spreading falsehoods about Trump, and profiting from his role through books, podcasts, and media appearances. The suit seeks over half a billion dollars from Cohen. Cohen's spokesman said the lawsuit will not deter his cooperation with prosecutors. Trump is facing charges of falsifying business records to disguise payments made during the campaign.
