"Rudy Giuliani Faces Trial for Defamation Damages in DC"

Rudy Giuliani's defamation damages trial is set to begin in Washington, DC, as he faces potential monetary damages for smearing two election workers after the 2020 election. The trial will shed light on the actions of Trump's lawyers and campaign, who are legally considered co-conspirators in the defamation case. Giuliani has already been found liable for defamation and owes the election workers over $230,000. They are now seeking tens of millions of dollars for reputational harm, emotional distress, and attorneys' fees. Giuliani is expected to testify in his own defense, while the election workers' team plans to show clips of other Trump campaign figures invoking their Fifth Amendment rights.

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.
