This is Bragg's star witness?

Trump said on video back in 2018 that Cohen was NOT his lawyer.. Let’s start there!

Cohen is a basket case and looks suicidal. Dems using him could care less.

It won’t get to discovery. It’s all for show.

It's been noted. Discovery could cause problems for Trump

Toe fungus Trump

Maybe Cohen should do the same to Trump?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The scapgoat 🙁

Blaming everyone else that you hired for your own bad decisions is a hallmark of a terrible leader

Pharoah trump knows he can't win a ice cream contest. So he figures if he has to go broke to not drop the soap. Then why not sue his enemies and make them broke als0

If Cohen did $500,000,000.00 worth of damage to donny's character and reputation then, Jack Smith gonna do $100,000,000,000,000,000.00

Good now you understand your doing .

Is asking for$500,000,000.00 from a disbarred lawyer considered frivolous?

LMAO

It’s a distraction and frivolous.

This suit will be thrown out of court.Trump has consistently filed frivolous lawsuits in Florida and his lawyers have been admonished in the past.

Ah haha haha hahahaha...a frivolous court case again.

Discovery……

Isn’t this witness intimidation?

Trump grasping at straws Cohen should ask for immediate dismissal and penalties for Trump & his attorney

Cohen broken legal confidences, and spread falsehoods about Trump he pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws and starting spreading rumors that liberal news perused without evidence about Trump Towers in Russia.

Democrats don't want Equality they want Domination & they are doing whatever it takes to get it. That includes breaking laws, lying, pandering to minorities, paying off media. If you're voting for Democrats then you should just move to China or Russia because that's what u want.

The trump Sh!t show just never ends.

The left will cover it for him. Clearly he has been bought off.

That’s hilarious!

I believe the headline should read 'Trump uses lawsuit to intimidate witness'

ABC News: state affiliated media

Like covering up? 😂

What about the RAPE charges?

TuckerCarlson news about vaccine travel mandates: AaronSiriSG filed a lawsuit to stop it. booboo_gh looks for people for the class action. SenMikeLee tries to pass HR185 in Senate. DHSgov title 19 is connected to vaccine mandates land borders so they illegally ban unvaxxed.

Suing the guy that paid his penance to the crimes that he helped orchestrate to his employer, does not absolve him of the crime that should put Trump in jail as well!

This is a good sign. It won't go anywhere, but it reveals the level of desperation our enemy is at.

The trump should just write another check for 'hush money'.

This suit will be thrown out of court faster than you can say Trump’s a liar.

Is Trump intimidating a witness? ManhattanDA

Pretty sure Cohen is the most miserable individual alive.

Trump will sue anyone.

LMFAO.

Does trump even know what the word “fiduciary” means? He didn’t write this. Some lawyer who probably won’t be paid and will loose their license to practice law probably did but for him. Trump the grifter is always looking for ways to make $.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

This just keeps getting better. 20-24yearsinprison

Mr Cohen has been on tv regularly smearing trump so I can understand it.

Trump would sue a ham sandwich. Yawn 🥱

Good luck Donnie

He better get his pop-up tent and sleeping bag ready. It's the streets for him.

Haha. Fiduciary duty while committing a crime-

After trump's DOJ prosecuted Cohen & sent him to jail for being trump's bag man? This will be fun!

Okay good. Go Brady Go

This won't be the last person sued, BTW. There will be no more free shots on goal.

Lol, trump trying to lose as much as possible? But I thought there was so much winning.

It’s pretty clear that he is breaching his attorney client privilege. He had to know this was coming.

Lying trash suing lying trash. Hopefully our legal system with throw out this pointless lawsuit quickly. Not worth clogging up the courts when there are real cases to be heard.

4th riech spreading Freedom

Trump must have some lousy lawyers because lawyers who were good would advise him not to that. However if Trump wants to open the door to get his butt kicked in court again so be it

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Michael Cohen is a criminal. He's already been in jail for some of his crimes. Cohen should not disclose anything about Trump because he was his lawyer.

Discovery should be fun.

🤣🤣🤣

MichaelCohen 😂😂😂😂😂

Trump could've avoided this whole thing if he pardoned him. He didn't and now reaps what he sows.

Poor Donny

Trump involved in nearly 25% of all lawsuits in the US judicial system

It’s amazing that any moral, educated Lawyer would work for tRump. I would think noting on one’s resume they once worked for him would allow them to ever get a client ever again, yet he has hundreds wasting valuable time of ethical workers on frivolous lawsuits.

What a joke. Grasping at straws.

And that's like a normal thing for a former and future wannabe president to do.

Ben Nurse's Ethical Violation

Good luck with that. Fiduciary duty doesn't apply when the client is trying to commit a crime.

Cohen used petty cash to buy Trump's Starbucks coffee and bagels every morning, he should have some stashed away to cover this.

It’s an obvious SLAPP suit. Total BS.

Oops. This is going to be fun.

A nuisance lawsuit by the world’s biggest and most embarrassing nuisance.

This suit is absurd and will be tossed out quickly. Why is the news media given it credence?

Of course he is...

Everything Trump lets you hear is his opinion, not facts. All Trump shows you is his perspective, not the truth…

That freaking loser, donald trump. Just looking for some cash. His poor supporters are running out. They kept falling for his pleas for cash and now have none left!

Cohen, i in a world, of Karma, hitting back at him if stormy Davis had to pay President Trump after her frivolous lawsuit what do y’all think is going to happen to a conniving, liar who has been caught lying to the courts? Cósenos a nobody!!

Counter sue for defamation!!! You would win!!

He's running scared

Stormy still paying. I bet Cohen will have to also. He already been caught lying and stealing.

AWESOME!

Oh Donnie. Attorney-client privilege does not cover statements made by a client to their lawyer if the statements are meant to further or conceal a crime. For this exception to apply, the client must have been in the process of committing a crime or planning to commit a crime.

Didn’t Mr. Trump fire him? No longer under contract. Also one with morals and being under oath can not lie.

The guys that has ALL the secrets & you’re suing him?

Who cares

Why would the attorney of record in this case risk blowing up everything for this 🤡

He's a bully

🤣🤣🤣🤣

One of many!

Watch it blow up in his orange face!

What?😂😅

Trump is such a baby....hopefully it goes to discovery

Help ME PUT MY KILLERS IN PRISON JAMIE PLUMMER AND MIKE MCDONALD AND LITTLE MIKE FROM KEITH BENNETT AND THEY HACKED ELECTION BETWEEN TRUMP AND BIDEN THEY PUT BUGS IN ME IVE CALLED 911 FROM 636 226 6088 NO LAW COME LOOKING FOR ME THEY HAVE DUMPSTER ON OTHER SIDE OF TRISHA CONE

I agree with this

It does seem like Cohen altered documents and is trying to hard to get Trump. Something is fishy

Trump is going to get sanctioned again. Hahaha

You have a snowballs chance in hell!

Good luck!

I’m f curse! Did bald trump is broke

Trump abuses WOMEN and the legal system. This must stop 🛑!

President Trump.

It’s a good thing Cohen is a lawyer and played his cards right.

I can’t wait for Trump to sit for a deposition with Cohen asking the questions. 😂

Of course he is that's all he does.

Another loss. He was subpoenaed and had to talk to the justice department.

He served a prison sentence for trump. I think his fiduciary duties have been fulfilled.

Trump must be running low on money.

Cohen was Trumps lawyer 🙄 What gave Cohen the right to breech client confidentiality. 😳

Nothing says “I’m innocent” like suing the star witness against you in an obvious attempt to intimidate them and shut them up…

I hope Cohen cannot take it and embraces a dirt nap.

It’s too late. Trump is trying to silence Cohen now for the Stormy Case but it’s too late. Witness tapering again from Trump.

Remember 9th Circuit Court ordered Stormy Daniels to pay Trump $122,000 for failed defamation suit.

The counterclaims are Cohen’s chance to really pull back the curtain on all the illegal conduct by the Orange Traitor. This should be entertaining.

Revenge !

Question for the smart people: Does an attorney have a specific fiduciary duty? Are there scenarios where one might engage the services of an attorney where no fiduciary duty exists?

NotNews

this is about witness intimidation via frivolous lawsuit. he could of sued way before this but waited until charges were filed.

Sounds like witness tampering to me

Lmao trump is desperate

And this is why you must be careful who you befriend, connect or do business with. Choose wisely. character

Yeah Right ~ LMFAO ~ Good Luck there Orange Fat-Man ! 🤪😜🤪

Tess

It is about time Trump brought a lawsuit against him

LOL. MichaelCohen212 is judgment proof. Good luck trying to pump blood from a stone in this frivolous suit. Hope the judge sanctions Trump’s lawyers.

Orange man is broke or going for a smokescreen! LOL

Blame shifting is a classic narcissistic control tactic and defense mechanism.

Good. Michael Cohen is a 🤡.

Now he's just trying to bankrupt Cohen for revenge.

Another ridiculous, pathetic Trump lawsuit. He will lose this one too.

Put me on the Jury and DJT gets it all $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !

Oh for Pete’s sake! That grifting basic bastard is trying to tap all possible revenue streams… the judge needs to smack his fat ass with sanctions for filing frivolous lawsuits, and disbar his attorneys for writing the brief.

Donald J Trump is a litigious bastard. He has been all of his life. This is how he deals with someone he feels betrays him or someone he feels is beneath him or someone he can just take it vantage of. He is a bully. He’s also a seditious traitor to America.
