Judge Demands Explanation for Alleged Citation of Nonexistent Cases by Michael Cohen's Former Attorney

A federal judge has ordered Michael Cohen's former attorney, David Schwartz, to explain the court cases cited in Cohen's request for early termination of supervised release, as the judge believes "none of these cases exist." The judge instructed Schwartz to provide copies of the court decisions and clarify Cohen's involvement in drafting the motion. Cohen's new lawyer also could not verify the court cases. If Cohen had any involvement in the mix-up, it could further impact his credibility as he is expected to testify against Donald Trump in a criminal trial next year.

Judge Questions Validity of Cases Cited by Michael D. Cohen's Lawyer

Michael Cohen's lawyer, David Schwartz, has been accused of citing three non-existent legal cases in a court filing seeking to end Cohen's supervised release. Manhattan federal judge, Jesse M. Furman, ordered Schwartz to provide copies of the cited decisions within a week or explain how the motion came to include non-existent cases. If Cohen is found to have played a role in citing the bogus cases, it could further undermine his credibility as he is expected to be the star witness in the upcoming criminal trial against former President Donald Trump.
