In April, Trump\u2064 filed the lawsuit \u2062against Cohen, accusing him of disclosing confidential \u200binformation, spreading false information, and\u200c damaging his reputation through \u200cbooks, podcasts, and media appearances. \u200cHowever, Trump&#8217;s legal team \u200crecently filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit without prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>Cohen announced the development on\u2062 X (formerly known as Twitter),\u2062 stating that \u200dTrump \u200bhad dismissed the lawsuit. Cohen characterized the lawsuit as an &#8220;abusive act of pure retaliation and witness intimidation&#8221; and reiterated that it was \u200da retaliatory tactic. He also\u200b mentioned\u2063 that there is more to come\u2062 regarding this matter.<\/p>\n<p>Trump initiated the\u2064 lawsuit against Cohen\u2063 on\u2063 April 12, shortly after pleading not guilty to\u2062 34\u200c criminal\u200b charges filed by the Manhattan district attorney\u2019s office. These charges stemmed from\u2063 allegations of a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels before\u2064 the 2016 presidential election, which Trump eventually won. This lawsuit against \u2064Cohen was the first of four indictments faced by Trump related to different allegations, including efforts to challenge \u200bPresident Joe Biden&#8217;s 2020 election victory and mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House. Trump pleaded not guilty to all these charges.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Trump stated that the former president is temporarily halting the legal battle with Cohen due to his \u2063involvement in other ongoing\u200d legal matters. However, he plans to \u2063revisit his claims at a later time. Cohen, on the other \u200dhand, is expected to\u2062 testify as a witness for the New\u2062 York attorney general&#8217;s office in Trump&#8217;s civil fraud trial in New York later this month.<\/p>\n<p>The withdrawal of \u200bthe lawsuit against Cohen marks a significant development\u200d in the legal\u2063 battles faced by Donald Trump. It\u2062 remains to be seen how this decision \u200dwill impact the ongoing \u2062cases and whether Trump will\u200b pursue the matter \u2063again in the future. As the situation unfolds, it is crucial to stay informed and closely \u2062monitor any updates regarding this legal\u2062 dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>that Cohen had breached his fiduciary duty by releasing confidential information about Trump.
