Former President Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer asked his Twitter followers to donate to a GoFundMe campaign to support his legal fight against a lawsuit from Mr. Trump that claims he breached contractual duties related to their business and legal relationship.
“Donald and acolytes continue to disparage me as a way of deflection from his looming legal troubles,” Michael Cohen wrote Thursday, a day after Mr. Trump’s lawsuit against him was filed in federal court.
The former president sued his ex-lawyer for more than $500 million on Wednesday, saying he breached their contractual relationship and helped to spread falsehoods about Mr. Trump in a criminal prosecution in New York. Ms. Daniels alleges she had an affair with Mr. Trump, and the criminal case is centered on hush-money payments through Cohen to her.
“Defendant breached his fiduciary duties owed to Plaintiff by virtue of their attorney-client relationship by both revealing Plaintiff’s confidences, and spreading falsehoods about Plaintiff, likely to be embarrassing or detrimental, and partook in other misconduct in violation of New York Rules of Professional Conduct,” the 34-page complaint read.
Mr. Trump denies the affair and also denies that the money was paid for his political benefit and aspirations.
