Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen sued BuzzFeed Inc. and Fusion GPS for defamation over allegations about him in the research firm’s dossier that was commissioned in 2016 by the president’s political opponents and published by the news organization.

Cohen’s suit against Fusion GPS, which compiled the dossier, and its co-founder Glenn Simpson was filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York Tuesday. BuzzFeed published the dossier in its entirety nearly a year ago, which it said it obtained from a source it didn’t identify. The lawsuit against the company was filed in state court in New York Tuesday.
