Cohen alleges that President Trump and several other federal officials conspired in 2020 to imprison him in retaliation for writing a book that criticized Trump.
He believes that the arrest was a violation of his legal security and a restriction on his freedom of expression.
Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018, but was released during the corona pandemic in 2020. The background of the lawsuit against Trump is that he was arrested a -again two months later. He was released 16 days later after a judge ruled the arrest was retaliatory.
So Trump’s former lawyer filed a lawsuit against Trump in 2021, a lawsuit that was dismissed in federal court in New York. An appeals court later rejected the case again, which led Cohen to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, which has now refused to hear it.
– As expected, the Supreme Court has rightly refused to hear Cohen’s case, and he must now finally stop with his ridiculous and desperate accusations, says Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba in a statement.
The US Supreme Court is dominated by six conservative justices against three liberals. Three of the conservative justices were appointed by Trump during his presidency from 2017 to 2021.
