SCOTUS tosses Cohen’s appeal over alleged retaliation by disgraced former president

Source: CNN

“The Supreme Court brushed aside an appeal Monday from Michael Cohen, the one-time fixer for Donald Trump, who accused the former president of retaliating against him for promoting a critical tell-all book. Without comment, the justices declined to hear the case, leaving in place decisions from lower courts that had dismissed Cohen’s lawsuit. Cohen sued Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr and other federal officials in 2021 for alleged retaliation in response to public comments he made about the book. After declining to sign an agreement barring him from speaking with the media, Cohen was taken back into custody — after initially being released during the pandemic — and placed in solitary confinement for more than two weeks, court records show.” (10/21/24)
