Thursday evening, former President Donald Trump filed to voluntarily dismiss his lawsuit against former “fixer” Michael Cohen.
In April, Trump sued his longtime attorney and fixer, for $500 million over accusations that Cohen maliciously worked to acquire attention and wealth at Trump’s expense, in particular taking aim at his book, podcast, and media appearances.
Trump in the lawsuit claimed Cohen breached his contract, among other claims, alleging he has regularly revealed information that was deemed confidential by the nature of their attorney-client relationship, with Trump further claiming that significant portions of Cohen’s claims were false.
In a statement to The Hill, a Trump spokesperson said the pause is temporary and is a result of the former president’s busy schedule.
“Given that President Trump is required to sit for deposition in a civil matter on Columbus Day, when he is scheduled to be in the Great State of New Hampshire, and while the President is fighting against the meritless claims that have been lodged against him in New York, Washington D.C., Florida, and Georgia, as well as continuing his winning campaign, where he is leading the Republicans by 60 points and Crooked Joe Biden by 11 points, to serve as our next President of the United States, President Trump has decided to temporarily pause his meritorious claims against Michael Cohen.”
The statement continued, “Once President Trump has prevailed in dealing with the witch hunts against him, he will continue to pursue his claims against Michael Cohen, who rightfully deserves to, and will be held accountable for his unlawful words and actions just as the Southern District of New York held him accountable for numerous non-Trump related acts and crimes, making Cohen a very ‘proud’ felon.”
“Trump didn’t want no smoke,” Benjamin Brodsky, Cohen’s attorney, told The Hill.
Cohen is also a potential witness in Trump’s ongoing New York civil fraud trial.
