A federal appeals court has rejected Michael Cohen’s bid to revive a lawsuit that seeks to hold former President Donald Trump liable for allegedly jailing him in retaliation for writing a book that casts the former president in a negative light.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said in an order dated Jan. 2, 2024, that it had considered the arguments laid out in Mr. Cohen’s appeal and found them to be “without merit.”
