The Supreme Court has rejected ex-lawyer Michael Cohen's appeal to revive a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, effectively putting an end to Cohen's allegations. Cohen had alleged that his imprisonment in 2020 was a form of retaliation by the Trump administration in response to a book he published that was critical of the former president.
Cohen had previously served a three-year prison sentence for various federal crimes related to his work for Trump, which included charges of lying to Congress. Following his release on home confinement during the pandemic, Cohen was sent back to prison after he refused to sign an agreement that would have restricted his social media activity and interactions with the press.
