Supreme Court rejects lawyer Michael Cohen lawsuit against Trump over alleged retaliation
|
[FoxNews] Supreme Court rejected Cohen's appeal without comment
The Supreme Court dismissed ex-lawyer Michael Cohen’s appeal to revive a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump on Monday, shutting down Cohen's accusations for the last time.
Cohen had claimed his 2020 imprisonment was retaliation by Trump's administration for publishing a book critical of the former president. The lawsuit had sought monetary damages from Trump, former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, federal prison officials and the federal government.
"Michael Cohen has exhausted every avenue of his pathetic attempt to drag my client into court time and time again. As expected, the Supreme Court has correctly denied Michael Cohen's petition and he must finally abandon his frivolous and desperate claims," Trump attorney Alina Habba told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Cohen had served three years behind bars for several federal crimes relating to his work for Trump, including lying to Congress. He was released on home confinement during the pandemic, but was sent back to prison after refusing to sign an agreement limiting his postings on social media and contacts with the press.
Two courts ruled against Cohen's initial claim, based on a narrow reading of the Supreme Court's ruling in the 1971 case Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, which provides citizens the limited legal right to sue federal officials who violate their constitutional rights.
The Supreme Court did not elaborate on its decision to reject Cohen's appeal.
