Michael Cohen sues Trump Organization for unpaid legal fees.

NEW YORK - Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer of U.S. President Donald Trump, on Thursday sued the Trump Organization, saying it reneged on its obligation to reimburse him for millions of dollars of legal fees and costs related to his work.

These include Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian influence in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as multiple congressional probes. "You’re getting in trouble because you work for me, you're getting reimbursed," Giuliani said."You're getting in trouble for your own stuff, I can't reimburse you."It came as Cohen, 52, prepares this spring to begin a three-year prison term, following his guilty plea to campaign finance violations.

The organization reaffirmed its payment obligations in December 2017 after Cohen complained to Trump's adult sons Donald Jr. and Eric, who both worked there, about"repeated delays," according to the complaint.He said these include two lawsuits by Daniels, the New York attorney general's lawsuit concerning Trump's namesake charity, the Mueller and congressional probes, and his criminal case.
