Former President Trump on Monday filed court papers that sought to block an attempt by Michael Cohen to dismiss a Trump lawsuit accusing his former lawyer of breaching his fiduciary duty “by spreading falsehoods.”
“Despite Cohen’s arguments to the contrary, the Complaint alleges that Cohen was conferred substantial benefits during his representation of the Plaintiff and utilized such benefits for purposes of obtaining selfish, financial profit at the expense of Plaintiff,” Trump’s attorney Alejandro Britto said in a complaint (pdf) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
