President Donald Trump has decided to temporarily pause his lawsuit against Michael Cohen, his former lawyer, due to a busy schedule of civil and criminal battles, as well as his 2024 presidential campaign. The lawsuit was filed in April 2018, alleging that Cohen had defamed him by making false statements to the media, and was dismissed in August 2018, but Trump appealed the decision. It is unclear when Trump will resume the lawsuit, but it is likely to remain on hold for the foreseeable future.
