FORMER US PRESIDENT Donald Trump has sued the key witness in his criminal case, accusing one-time lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen of “vast reputational harm” for talking publicly about the hush-money payments at the heart of the case.

The criminal case against Trump, brought last week by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, accuses the former president of falsifying 34 business records at his company to hide the true nature of 11 checks paid to Cohen to reward him for work covering up Trump’s extramarital affairs.
I feel like suing an ex-lawyer for breaking confidentiality is nearly as saying 'Yes, I did make the payments'.
