Former President Donald Trump is filing a lawsuit against his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, for over $500 million. This news was revealed through a filing submitted in a Florida court on Wednesday.
Cohen, who is originally from Long Island, had testified before a Manhattan grand jury that eventually indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The indictment related to the Trump Organization's alleged falsification of financial records in order to secure loans and tax breaks.
The lawsuit against Cohen comes as no surprise given the tense relationship between the two men. Cohen had previously been a staunch ally of Trump but later turned against him, accusing the former President of various wrongdoings.
This latest legal action is likely to add fuel to the already fiery public feud between Trump and Cohen. It remains to be seen how the lawsuit will proceed and what the outcome will be, but it is certain to attract significant media attention in the weeks and months ahead.
