Trump sues ex-lawyer Michael Cohen for $500 million in criminal case.

Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against his former lawyer Michael Cohen, seeking over $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 him. Trump's lawyer claims that Cohen did those things with malicious intent and to wholly self-serving ends. Trump wants compensatory, incidental, and punitive damages in an amount that would be determined at a trial and would substantially exceed $500 million.
