The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Monday a petition by Donald Trump's ex fixer, Michael Cohen, over claims that the former president retaliated at him for writing a tell-all book in which he revealed damning information about him.
The decision regarding Cohen's last-ditch effort leaves in place a lower court ruling saying it could not pursue the allegation. The events that led the disbarred lawyer to file the suit took place in 2020, when he was serving a three-year sentence on several charges related to the work he did for Trump, including hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to bury claims of a sexual encounter between the two.
