Trump Sues Cohen in SDFLA

By John R. Byrne 

Our district is now home to another lawsuit filed by former President Trump, this one against his former attorney, Michael Cohen. Trump is seeking $500 million in damages. 

You can read the Complaint here. As of the time of this post, no judge had been assigned yet.

***Update***

The case has been assigned to Judge Gayles

At least Trump finally found himself a good lawyer. But half a billion dollars? Smells like another publicity stunt.

Hmmmm….a good lawyer probably would not want to engage in what many may think is obstruction and witness tampering by suing a key witness in a criminal probe. But hey, perhaps that is not what is going on and the case really is about trying to collect 500 million from Cohen.

Hope this great lawyer secured his fee up front.

Compare the standing analysis.

In the 5th Circuit you have standing here:

"A second independent injury from the adverse effects of mifepristone is the “enormous stress and pressure” physicians face in treating these women. PI App. 215. One doctor said the strain “is some of the most emotionally taxing work I have done in my career.” PI App. 880. Thus, this is an independent injury because FDA’s actions “significantly affect[]” the
doctors’ “quality of life.” Sierra Club v. Morton, 405 U.S. 727, 734–35 (1972)."

In the 5th Circuit good enough if you have the all the feels.

Isn’t date of search wrong in complaint ?

Very weak. Almost preposterous. But, saying that, it is ten times stronger thatn Bragg's case against Trump.
