Appeals Court Denies Michael Cohen's Lawsuit Against Trump

Cohen Plans to Take the Challenge to the Supreme Court

Michael Cohen's lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, claiming he was jailed in retaliation for writing a tell-all book, was denied by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan.
The court ruled that Cohen already obtained relief when a judge ordered his release from imprisonment to home confinement weeks after he was imprisoned.
Cohen served more than a year of his three-year sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2018 to tax evasion, campaign finance charges and making a false statement to Congress.
Cohen plans to bring the challenge to the Supreme Court, stating 'The outcome is wrong if democracy is to prevail.'
Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, expressed satisfaction with the ruling and stated they will continue to fight against any frivolous suits aimed at their client.
