President Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen withdrew a pair of defamation lawsuits Wednesday against BuzzFeed and the opposition research firm Fusion GPS over the controversial Steele dossier. Mr. Cohen had sued for libel, but he decided to pull the lawsuits after the FBI seized records from his hotel room last week. “The decision to voluntarily discontinue these cases was a difficult one,” said David Schwartz, Mr. Cohen’s attorney, according to Politico. “We believe the defendants defamed my client, and vindicating Mr. Cohen’s rights was — and still remains — important. But given the events that have unfolded, and the time, attention, and resources needed to prosecute these matters, we have dismissed the matters, despite their merits,” Mr. Schwartz said. The dossier, funded by the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee and compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, claimed Mr. Cohen traveled to Europe, and specifically Prague, to meet with Russian operatives. Mr. Cohen has denied ever traveling to Prague for the meeting. But McClatchy reported last week that special counsel Robert Mueller may have evidence Mr. Cohen did travel to Prague in 2016.
