Michael Cohen, former President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and “fixer,” filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr, the federal government, and others claiming they conspired to throw him back in prison as retaliation for publishing a tell-all book.
Cohen was released from prison to home confinement in April of 2020, to continue serving out a three-year sentence for lying to Congress and committing campaign finance violations on Trump’s behalf.
