Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer of U.S. President Donald Trump, on Thursday sued the Trump Organization, saying it reneged on its obligation to reimburse him for millions of dollars of legal fees and costs related to his work. In a complaint filed in the New York state supreme court in Manhattan, Mr. Cohen said the Trump Organization stopped paying him last May after it became clear he would cooperate with various investigations into his work. These include Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian influence in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as multiple congressional investigations. Mr. Cohen said the Trump Organization owes him at least $3.8 million. He said its failure to pay breached a reimbursement agreement that predated his cooperation.
