The lawsuit claims that around July 2017, the Trump Organization and Cohen entered into an agreement under which the company would pay for Cohen's representation and defense for various investigations. The organization confirmed its commitment to the deal through at least May 2018, even after Cohen came under heightened investigative scrutiny. In June 2018, shortly after Cohen began telling friends he was willing to cooperate with the Mueller investigation, the suit alleges the organization ceased to pay his law firm's invoices "without notice or justification," causing the firm to withdraw its representation of Cohen.

Let me get this straight...
Cohen paid hush money to a porn star
Cohen says that payments received from Trump for legal fees were in fact not for legal fees but instead reimbursement of hush money payments
Cohen says that the total payment amount was more than the hush money amount due to taxes- still no legal fee payments involved
Cohen sues Trump for stopping payment of legal fees
Is that correct?

No, the hush money payments (and personal reimbursements to Cohen for undocumented 'expenses') were illegally accounted for as campaign funds. On paper, it looks like Trump paid the money into his campaign to cover 'expenses'. In truth, it was a direct payment to Cohen to be redistributed. A chunk of it went to the hush money. The rest went to Cohen personally.

Given the raging dumpster fire that was Cohen's last round of testimony -- where he perjured himself at least 2 or 3 times, accidentally admitted to violating the FARA act, and failed to provide any of the "evidence" he claimed to have -- you'd think he'd want to STFU and stop digging his grave even deeper. But the dude is seemingly not smart enough to walk & chew gum simultaneously.

Well that's just not at all true. Nice way to try and spin it though.

Cohen's SDNY Sentencing Memorandum, with specific reference to pages 15 & 16 (which fall under the subheading of "Cohen's Illegal Campaign Contributions" from page 13).

Its trumps word against cohen there,and no checks reflecting the payments from the campaign funds. It was personal funds. Sdny is biased as well.

Cohen violated the agreement with the Trump organization so cannot sue.
In fact, Trump can sue him for everything he will ever make for breaking client confidentiality.
Cohen is screwed, even if he writes a book, the money will be taken away from him.
A lawyer is not supposed to lie for his client, that is not Trump's problem, a lawyer can just say he is bound by confidentiality not to say anything instead of lying which is sort of like taking the fifth.
