VENGEANCE IS MINE

Seeking revenge against his former lawyer for airing all his dirty laundry, indicted former President Donald Trump on Wednesday sued his one-time fixer, Michael Cohen for more than $500 million. The 32-page lawsuit, filed in South Florida federal court, aims to punish Cohen for violating a confidentiality agreement by divulging secrets about their attorney-client relationship when he wrote memoirs full of salacious details—and subsequently became the star witness for the Manhattan District Attorney’s criminal case against the ex-president. Cohen has told the world all about the way Trump allegedly used him to quietly pay off porn star Stormy Daniels to cover up an extramarital affair, claims that led a New York County jury to criminally indict Trump last month for faking business records. The lawsuit claims that Cohen should have abided by the attorney-client rules and nondisclosure agreement, even though Cohen has been disbarred and several of Trump’s infamous ironclad hush deals are now being scrutinized by judges as improper.
