Trump sues former attorney Michael Cohen for $500 million
Former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
is suing his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen for more than $500 million, alleging a breach of his attorney-client relationship, unjust enrichment, and more, Fox News Digital has learned.
A gun to a knife fight?
Trump’s legal team filed the more-than 30-page federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court for theTouched Southern District of Florida 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," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit alleges Cohen breached his attorney-client relationship by "spreading falsehoods" about Trump that were "likely to be embarrassing or detrimental, and partook in other misconduct," while also breaching contractual terms of a confidentiality agreement he signed as a condition of employment with Trump.

The lawsuit alleges Cohen spread falsehoods about Trump "with malicious intent and to wholly self-serving ends."

The lawsuit details Cohen’s "myriad of public statements, including the publication of two books, a podcast series, and innumerable mainstream media appearances," while ignoring "cease and desist" orders.

It claims Cohen has, in recent months, "increased the frequency and hostility of the illicit acts" and "appears to have become emboldened and repeatedly continues to make wrongful and false statements" about Trump through various platforms.

"Such continuous and escalating improper conduct by [Cohen] has reached a proverbial crescendo and has left [Trump] with no alternative but to seek legal redress through this action," the lawsuit states, adding that Trump has "suffered vast reputational harm as a direct result of [Cohen’s] breaches."

#4 Cohen will try to have it dismissed and fail. His next move will be trying to move the venue to NYC. Constitutionally, he should be able to do that, but that result would cause a whole bunch of issues for the evil side as none of the J6 people can get a fair trial in the venues of those current trials.

#8 If Cohen gets hit personally with a massive $$$ civil judgement like this one that he can't pay, it ruins his personal credit for years.

#9 As long as MSM outlets pay him to appear and make stuff up about Trump, he doesn't need credit.
