Donald Trump's ex-attorney Michael Cohen plans to call one of the former president's sons as a witness in an upcoming trial over whether Trump's company owes up to $1.3 million in legal fees to Cohen, his attorneys said Friday.
Cohen, who originally sued the Trump Organization in March 2019, wants the Trump Organization to pay his fees stemming from Cohen's defense of Trump and himself during investigations in 2017 and 2018, and during roughly 20 meetings with the Manhattan district attorney and a grand jury before Trump was indicted in March.
An attorney for Cohen said in court Friday that Donald Trump Jr., a Trump Organization executive vice president, is a relevant potential witness because the company covered his legal fees in relation to some of the same investigations for which Cohen is seeking payment.
