Former President Donald Trump has shown that he will not back down from a legal battle. This week, he filed a lawsuit against his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, for $500 million.
The lawsuit alleges that Cohen violated attorney-client privilege by sharing confidential information and spreading lies about him “with malicious intent and to wholly self-serving ends.”
Republican lawyer Alan Dershowitz and other panelists on Fox News praised Trump’s move, calling it a “legitimate move” and one that should have been done.
They also pointed out that transparency is essential in legal proceedings, and if people have nothing to hide, they shouldn’t be worried.
Gregg Jarrett, another panelist, said that the lawsuit centers around the many lies of Michael Cohen. Cohen had lied to the IRS, U.S. banks, and Congress, causing reputational damage. Jarrett also said that Cohen committed theft, unjust enrichment by defrauding Trump over a phony business venture and pocketed an exorbitant amount of money over something that did not exist. On top of that, there’s also a breach of fiduciary duty, which is pretty darn clear with Cohen, and a breach of contract.
Trump is asking for over $500 million in “actual, compensatory, incidental, and punitive damages” from Cohen and any profits he made from his podcast and books.
This lawsuit is just another example of Trump’s determination to seek justice and clear his name.
He has nothing to hide and is willing to do whatever it takes to prove his innocence. Republicans should support him in his legal battles and stand up for justice and the truth.
