Michael Cohen, former personal attorney and fixer to Donald Trump, is expected to settle his lawsuit against the Trump Organization over unpaid legal fees, sources familiar with the matter told The New York Times. Once a close ally of Trump, Cohen filed a lawsuit against the organization in 2019 accusing the business of halting legal payments after his relationship with Trump began to sour—with nearly $2 million on the line.
