Former U.S. president Donald Trump sued the key witness in his criminal case on Wednesday, accusing one-time lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen of "vast reputational harm" for talking publicly about the hush-money payments at the heart of the case.
Trump isn't specifically suing Cohen over his grand jury testimony in the criminal case, but he cites it in support of an argument that his ex-lawyer sought to profit from his role through the publication of two books, a podcast series and media appearances. The suit is the latest effort by Trump to use the legal system to go after his political enemies and is another example of the former president turning on a once-loyal aide after their relationship imploded.
