Michael Cohen Asks Supreme Court To Let Him Sue Donald Trump
HuffPost
“No president should ever be permitted to weaponize the Department of Justice," Trump's former fixer said in a statement.
Michael Cohen has asked the Supreme Court to allow him to sue former President Donald Trump for alleged retaliation and violations of his constitutional rights.
Cohen, who served as Trump’s longtime fixer and attorney, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 on charges including campaign finance violations and lying to Congress. He was released early in 2020 during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but he was jailed once more and placed in solitary confinement for two weeks after he announced plans to write a book critical of his former boss.
A federal judge later ordered Cohen released from custody and chastised the Trump administration for “retaliatory action,” The New York Times reported.
Cohen first sued Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr in 2021 for violations of his rights, but the suit was later dismissed by a judge. A court of appeals agreed with that ruling.
Still, Cohen on Wednesday urged the Supreme Court to intervene in his favor.
