Ex-Trump fixer Michael Cohen faces long odds in reviving claim against former boss

Michael Cohen is an unlikely civil rights warrior.

WASHINGTON — Michael Cohen is an unlikely civil rights warrior.

The disgraced and disbarred lawyer enjoys fame of the notorious variety because of his longtime association with Donald Trump.

That relationship ended in a spectacular falling out. He ended up serving a three-year sentence on various charges he pleaded guilty to relating to the work he had carried out for Trump.

Where Cohen, now a voluble Trump critic, aligns with civil rights advocates is on trying to turn the tide on the Supreme Court’s hostility to claims against federal officials for constitutional violations.

Cohen is making a last-ditch effort to revive a lawsuit alleging that Trump sent him back to prison — ending a home confinement arrangement — in retaliation for writing a tell-all book. His appeal, now pending at the court, urges the justices to reverse course.
