Trump sues former attorney Michael Cohen for $500 million

 Former President Trump is suing his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen for more than $500 million, alleging a breach of his attorney-client relationship, unjust enrichment, and more, Fox News Digital has learned.

Trump’s legal team filed the more-than 30-page federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on Wednesday.

"This is an action arising from [Cohen’s] multiple breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, conversion and breaches of contract by virtue of [Cohen’s] past service as [Trump’s] employee and attorney," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit alleges Cohen breached his attorney-client relationship by "spreading falsehoods" about Trump that were "likely to be embarrassing or detrimental, and partook in other misconduct," while also breaching contractual terms of a confidentiality agreement he signed as a condition of employment with Trump.

The lawsuit alleges Cohen spread falsehoods about Trump "with malicious intent and to wholly self-serving ends."

The lawsuit details Cohen’s "myriad of public statements, including the publication of two books, a podcast series, and innumerable mainstream media appearances," while ignoring "cease and desist" orders.

It claims Cohen has, in recent months, "increased the frequency and hostility of the illicit acts" and "appears to have become emboldened and repeatedly continues to make wrongful and false statements" about Trump through various platforms.......

The general NY statute of limitations for legal malpractice is three years from the date the malpractice took place.

Lawyer + Client confidentiality may be breached if the lawyer may have been engaged in criminal conduct with his client.

May I have a word for word example of a Michael Cohen false statement about Trump?

It will be interesting to see how this goes.  I think it is doubtful that Trump is going to prevail.

It will be interesting. Although I don't think Cohen is a lily white individual. But since Trump is under the gun, the cards will be stacked against him.

The real losers are the American people.
