TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against his former attorney, Michael Cohen, for more than $500 million, claiming Cohen breached his "fiduciary duty" and attorney-client privileges in order to be "unjustly enriched." The suit comes after the former president pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges last week. Cohen is a key witness in that case. Cohen says he ceased to be Trump's lawyer in 2017, and pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations and other charges, stating as part of his guilty plea that he and Trump arranged the payment to Daniels to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
