Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen resolved his lawsuit against the Trump Organization on July 21, 2023, regarding unpaid legal fees. The settlement came just three days before the scheduled trial, and its terms remain undisclosed.
In 2019, Cohen filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization, claiming they didn’t cover his substantial legal bills while he worked for Donald Trump. Allegedly, the Trump Organization backed out of their agreement to pay his bills after he cooperated with various investigations into Trump’s business dealings, including the Russia investigation and the New York attorney general‘s probe into the Trump Organization’s finances.
On a separate note, Trump filed his lawsuit against Cohen in April 2023. He accused Cohen of breaching attorney-client privilege by writing a book about his time with Trump and making public statements about him. In that lawsuit, Trump is seeking damages amounting to $500 million.
However, it is essential to clarify that the settlement of Cohen’s lawsuit against the Trump Organization has no impact on Trump’s ongoing lawsuit against Michael Cohen. As of now, that particular lawsuit is still awaiting resolution.
The conclusion of this legal battle marks a significant event, especially considering the contentious history between Cohen and the Trump Organization. With the terms of the settlement kept confidential, speculation arises about what led to the resolution.
Observers and legal experts eagerly await further developments in Trump’s lawsuit against Michael Cohen, as it involves complex issues related to attorney-client privilege and public statements about a public figure.
In the end, both parties’ lawsuits have shed light on the intricacies of high-stakes legal disputes and the potential consequences of breaching confidentiality and trust in attorney-client relationships. Only time will tell how these legal battles will play out and what implications they might have on future legal practices and norms.
