Abstract

The US Supreme Court declined to allow a lawsuit against Donald Trump by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who claimed he was sent back to prison for refusing to agree not to criticize Trump publicly. Cohen alleged retaliation when he sought to finish his sentence under home confinement during the pandemic but was asked to sign an agreement restricting his interactions with the press and social media. The court rejected Cohen's appeal, citing limitations on Bivens suits, which allow individuals to sue federal officers for violating constitutional rights. The Biden administration supported Trump in urging the Supreme Court to dismiss the appeal. [Extracted from the article]
