Michael Cohen has settled his lawsuit against the Trump Organization for an undisclosed amount, avoiding a trial that was set to begin Monday in New York state court.
Cohen, who served as former President Trump’s long-time fixer, had alleged the Trump Organization owed him roughly $1.3 million in unpaid legal fees Cohen owes to outside counsel in connection with various investigations and lawsuits.
Cohen filed the lawsuit in 2019, arguing he struck an oral agreement with the Trump Organization to be paid for his attorneys’ fees and costs arising from his work on behalf of the company, only for the Trump Organization to refuse reimbursement once Cohen turned against Trump.
Court spokesperson Lucian Chalfen said the parties didn’t announce the terms of the settlement, but Monday’s trial had been adjourned. Jurors were already selected for the trial.
The matter was “resolved in a manner satisfactory to all parties,” Cohen attorney Lauren Handelsman told The Hill.

Ok, but will Cohen get paid?
