The lawyer who represented President Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial is suing his ex-business partner, the lawyer who represented Trump during the Russian election interference investigation, claiming that ongoing “financial shenanigans” deprived him of millions of dollars in compensation, according to legal filings reviewed by The Independent.
In a civil suit filed Monday in Manhattan County Supreme Court, attorney Eric Herschmann, who in 2020 split from attorney Marc Kasowitz and New York City-based Kasowitz LLP to work for Trump, then rejoined the firm in 2021 before quitting again earlier this year over the pay dispute, says that if he had known about “Kazonomics,” as one partner apparently dubbed Kasowitz’s alleged financial sleight-of-hand, he “never would have” gone back.
