Former President Donald Trump filed a $500 million lawsuit against his former attorney Michael Cohen for allegedly violating their attorney-client bond and spreading “embarrassing or detrimental” lies.

Cohen, whose falling out with Trump has led to exchanges of insults between the men, also was accused of violating a non-disclosure agreement with Trump and fraudulently misrepresenting a $74,000 business expenditure, according to the suit filed Wednesday in federal court in Miami.
