During a court hearing Friday, lawyers for Cohen and the Trump Organization announced they reached the settlement and said the terms were “confidential.” Cohen sued the Trump Organization in 2019 alleging that he had agreements – both written and oral – that his legal bills would be paid in connection to numerous investigations, but the real estate business stopped funding those bills when he split from Trump and began cooperating against them.
“These actions – the crimes, and the cooperation – defeated the purpose of, and thus effectively terminated, any oral agreement that might have existed for indemnification,” Trump attorneys wrote. Jurors were selected and sworn in this week. Opening statements were set for Monday and the trial, which was expected to include testimony from Cohen and Donald Trump Jr. – but not the former president – was expected to last about a week.
