abc.net.au/news/donald-trump-suing-former-lawyer-michael-cohen/102216664Former US president Donald Trump is suing his former lawyer Michael Cohen for more than $US500 million , according to a filing in federal court in Florida.

Mr Cohen is poised to be a star witness in any eventual trial in the case, which centres around a hush money payment he made before the 2016 election to an adult film star who says she slept with Mr Trump. The lawsuit accuses Mr Cohen of violating his attorney-client relationship with Mr Trump by revealing his "confidences" and "spreading falsehoods" in books, podcasts, and media appearances.

It says Mr Cohen wrongfully called Mr Trump "racist" in his 2020 book, "Disloyal", and fabricated conversations with the former president.

Wow, let's just put that witness tampering out there where everyone can see it.

Trump still better

Let's try fair and balanced All companies make you sign a non disclosure. If you break a usa government non disclosure you go to jail (snowmen + current ukrain leak). I would imagine the non disclosure for a lawer to a billionaire to be robust... Who else can we sue though?

Great tactic to scare potential witnesses coming forward

It’s called “witness intimidation”.

Maybe the citizens should “sue” trumpet by class action for causing so much grief and violence 😄
