Cohen is appealing U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman's dismissal of his lawsuit. Liman said that while his decision did 'violence' to Cohen's constitutional rights, Cohen was not entitled to damages under U.S. Supreme Court precedent.
- Michael Cohen on Monday asked a U.S. appeals court to revive his lawsuit against Donald Trump and other government officials, seeking damages for sending him back to prison in retaliation for publishing a tell-all memoir criticizing the former U.S. president.
"The head of the executive branch wielded his power to have one of his critics silenced, thrown back into prison, and kept in conditions dangerous to his health," Cohen's lawyers wrote. "Where such a grievous injury is done to a citizen's rights and to the nation's rule of law, there must be a remedy."Liman said that while his decision did "violence" to Cohen's constitutional rights, Cohen was not entitled to damages under U.S.
Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and fixer, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 after pleading guilty to campaign finance violations and other crimes. Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr and various prison officials are also defendants in Cohen's lawsuit. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan, which represented the other defendants, declined to comment.Cohen is a central witness in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's criminal case against Trump over a $130,000 hush money payment to silence porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump.
