Former President Donald Trump is suing his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, for $500 million, alleging that Cohen’s breaches of ethics have damaged Trump’s reputation.

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in the Southern District of Florida and claimed “Plaintiff has suffered vast reputational harm as a direct result of Defendant’s breaches.”

The lawsuit noted that Cohen, before turning into an antagonist, lavished extensive praise upon Trump.

Citing the various published reports and media appearances at which Cohen made the comments, the lawsuit noted that Cohen said, “he had ‘been admiring Donald Trump since [] high school.’ Defendant viewed Plaintiff as a ‘wonderful man’ who would be ‘an amazing president,’ and someone Defendant thought ‘the world’ of as ‘a businessman’ and ‘a boss.’”

The lawsuit noted Cohen said Trump was “’smart,’ and ‘the greatest negotiator on the planet,’ and described his own role as the one ‘who protects the President and the family,’ and strongly stated that he ‘would take a bullet’ for Plaintiff.”

The suit said that Cohen said, “he would ‘never walk away’ because Plaintiff ‘deserve[d]’ Defendant’s ‘loyalty’ because ‘[o]ne man who wants to do so much good with so many detractors against him needs support.’”

Noting that Cohen called Trump “an honorable guy,” the lawsuit said Cohen “never [saw] a situation where Mr. Trump has said something that’s not accurate.”
