After losing out in appellate court and months ago urging the U.S. Supreme Court to revive his lawsuit, Donald Trump’s ex-fixer Michael Cohen is once again asking the justices to take up his petition and allow him to sue the former president for the alleged “retaliatory imprisonment” and the weeks-long solitary confinement stint Cohen was subjected to in 2020.

Cohen’s latest filing on the high court’s docket came Monday, as a reply to Trump’s opposition. Earlier in September, Trump attorney Alina Habba told the justices Cohen’s claims that Trump and former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr thew Cohen back in jail to penalize him for exercising his First Amendment right to write the tell-all memoir “Disloyal” were “entirely devoid of merit” and, in any event, were unwarranted under Bivens. What’s more, Habba said, Cohen’s suit should fail as “absolutely barred by the doctrine of Presidential immunity.”
