Michael Cohen ridicules Trump's lawyers in response to former president's 'sprawling and baseless complaint'

Raw Story  

Donald Trump has targeted his former attorney Michael Cohen with a $500 million lawsuit alleging "multiple breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, conversion, and breaches of contract by virtue of Defendant’s past service as Plaintiff’s employee and attorney." "Plaintiff Donald J. Trump's sprawling and baseless Complaint appears to have two aims: retaliating against and intimidating Mr. Cohen, and distracting from Mr. Trump's mounting and serious criminal exposure," the filing begins. The response walks through Trump's failure on standing, the fact that his complaints are far outside of the statute of limitations, and "based on misconstructions of the relevant facts and law." "Mr. Trump does not address this argument in his Opposition, nor does he attempt to explain why, having invoked protections of New York law and claimed that Mr. Cohen's fiduciary obligations flown therefrom, New York law should not apply to his claims," the filing says. Side-stepping legalese, Cohen's motion ultimately says that Trump's allegations "rely on selective quotation of pertinent documents, omission of critical information, and obfuscation of inconvenient facts."
