The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, was decried as"an abusive act of pure retaliation" by Cohen's lawyers in the Monday filing."This suit combines the worst of Mr. Trump’s vindictive impulses," the filing said."The complaint, frivolous and scattershot, is an abusive act of pure retaliation and witness intimidation, albeit a ham-fisted one. It must be dismissed as a matter of law.
They also allege the lawsuit was filed in direct retaliation for Cohen's cooperation in the Manhattan grand jury inquiry, which saw Trump indicted on 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records. The charges were related to alleged hush money payments made to two women in 2016 ahead of the presidential election.
