Michael Cohen, who had claimed Donald Trump used his presidential powers to retaliate against Cohen for promoting a tell-all book, has lost his appeal to revive his lawsuit against the former president.

Cohen, once Trump’s lawyer, had sued Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr, and other Justice Department officials for allegedly violating his constitutional rights. …

A lower court judge had ruled against Cohen and that verdict was upheld by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
