Ex-President Donald Trump has filed a $500million lawsuit against his former personal lawyer who made a hush payment to a porn star that led him to face criminal charges.
The suit alleges that Michael Cohen breached his attorney-client relationship and that he partook in unjust enrichment, Fox News reported on Wednesday.
‘This is an action arising from (Cohen’s) multiple breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, conversion and breaches of contract by virtue of (Cohen’s) past service as (Trump’s) employee and attorney,’ states the suit.
It accuses Cohen of ‘spreading falsehoods’ about Trump ‘likely to be embarrassing or detrimental’, and that the falsehoods were uttered ‘with malicious intent and to wholly self-serving ends’.
Cohen also ignored ‘cease and desist’ orders and continued to make a ‘myriad of public statements’ on mainstream media appearances, podcasts and two books he published, according to the suit.
