Michael Cohen arrives at New York Supreme Court for former President Donald Trump's civil business fraud trial on Oct. 25, 2023 in New York. Cohen says he unwittingly passed along to his attorney bogus artificial intelligence-generated legal case citations he got online before they were submitted to a New York judge. Yuki Iwamura/AP NEW YORK — Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's onetime personal lawyer and fixer, says he unwittingly passed along to his attorney bogus artificial intelligence-generated legal case citations he got online before they were submitted to a judge. Cohen made the admission in a court filing unsealed Friday in Manhattan federal court after a judge earlier this month asked a lawyer to explain how court rulings that do not exist were cited in a motion submitted on Cohen's behalf. Judge Jesse Furman had also asked what role, if any, Cohen played in drafting the motion. The AI-generated cases were cited as part of written arguments attorney David M. Schwartz made to try to bring an early end to Cohen's court supervision after he served more than a year behind bars. Cohen had pleaded guilty in 2018 to tax evasion, campaign finance charges and lying to Congress, saying Trump directed him to arrange the payment of hush money to a porn actor and to a former Playboy model to fend off damage to his 2016 presidential bid. Cohen, who was disbarred five years ago, said in a declaration submitted to the judge on Thursday that he found the citations by doing research through Google Bard and was unaware that the service could generate nonexistent cases. He said he uses the internet for research because he no longer has access to formal legal-research sources. "As a non-lawyer, I have not kept up with emerging trends (and related risks) in legal technology and did not realize that Google Bard was a generative text service that, like Chat-GPT, could show citations and descriptions that looked real but actually were not," Cohen said. "Instead, I understood it to be a super-charged search engine and had repeatedly used it in other contexts to (successfully) find accurate information online." Google rolled out Bard earlier this year as an answer to ChatGPT, which Microsoft has been integrating into its Bing search engine. The tools can quickly generate text based off prompts from a user, but have a tendency to make things up, also known as "hallucinations." Cohen blames his lawyer for failing to check legal citationsCohen blamed Schwartz, his lawyer and longtime friend, for failing to check the validity of his citations before submitting them to the judge, though he asked that the judge dispense mercy toward Schwartz, calling his failure to check the citations an "honest mistake" and "a product of inadvertence, not any intent to deceive." In a declaration filed with the court, Schwartz said he thought drafts of the papers to be submitted to the judge to dissolve Cohen's probation early were reviewed by E. Danya Perry, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice who also represents Cohen. He said he never reviewed what he thought was another attorney's research. Perry, who discovered that the cited cases were bogus after seeing the court filing, said Schwartz's claim that he came to "believe" that the citations came from Perry were "incorrect and I believe, far-fetched, as I had no involvement in any back-and-forth — not directly with Mr. Schwartz or his paralegal and not even indirectly through Mr. Cohen." When she learned of them, Perry reported the false case citations to the judge and federal prosecutors. In her submission to the judge, Perry wrote, "Mr. Cohen engaged in no misconduct and should not suffer any collateral damage from Mr. Schwartz's misstep." Judge notes fake AI-generated citations have surfaced beforeIn discussing possible sanctions earlier this month, the judge noted that it was the second time this year that a judge in Manhattan federal court has confronted lawyers over fake citations generated by artificial intelligence. Two lawyers in an unrelated case were fined $5,000 for citing bogus cases that were invented by ChatGPT, the AI-powered chatbot. In entering the 2018 guilty plea, Cohen did not name the two women who received hush money or even Trump, recounting instead that he worked with an "unnamed candidate" to influence the 2016 election. But the amounts and the dates lined up with $130,000 paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels and $150,000 that went to Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal to buy their silence in the weeks and months leading up to the presidential election, which Trump, a Republican, won over Hillary Clinton, a Democrat. Daniels and McDougal claimed to have had affairs with Trump, which he denied. Earlier this year, Trump pleaded not guilty in New York state court in Manhattan to 34 felony charges alleging that he falsified internal business records at his private company to coverup his involvement in the payouts. After his arrest, Trump said in a speech, "This fake case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election and it should be dropped immediately." He has since pleaded not guilty to charges in three other criminal cases. Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen testifies against him in New York 
Michael Cohen arrives for former President Donald Trump's civil business fraud trial at New York Supreme Court on Tuesday. Yuki Iwamura/AP NEW YORK — Michael Cohen, the onetime lawyer and fixer for former President Donald Trump, came face to face with his former boss in a New York courtroom on Tuesday. Cohen was at the New York County Supreme Court to testify in a civil trial alleging the former president inflated the value of his assets to land better business deals and tax benefits. During his testimony, Cohen said that Trump had asked him to "increase the total assets based upon a number that he arbitrarily elected." His responsibility, along with that of former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, "was to reverse engineer the very different asset classes, increase those assets in order to achieve the numbers" Trump had asked for. As the court broke for lunch, Trump, who is not required to be present for the trial but arrived within several minutes of Cohen on Tuesday morning, told reporters he is "not worried" about Cohen's testimony, arguing Cohen is not a credible witness due to his past lying under oath. How Cohen and Trump landed on opposite sidesTrump and Cohen had a falling out in 2018 amid a federal investigation into Cohen's financial dealings and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia during the 2016 presidential race. In late 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to a raft of federal charges, including campaign finance violations related to hush money payouts to two women in exchange for their public silence about their personal relationships with Trump. 
Former President Donald Trump speaks to members of the media as he arrives at New York State Supreme Court where he will face Michael Cohen, who is testifying against him. Alex Kent/AFP via Getty Images In February 2019, Cohen testified before the House Oversight Committee. "Mr. Trump is a cheat," Cohen said before lawmakers. "It was my experience that Mr. Trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed amongst the wealthiest people in Forbes, and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes." Trump has long argued that he has done no wrong and has repeatedly cast Cohen as untrustworthy. Cohen's record came up inside the court, too. While Colleen Faherty of the New York attorney general's office wanted to get it out of the way at the top of her questioning, Trump attorney Alina Habba dwelled on it during cross examination — flagging that Cohen had lied under oath multiple times. Ahead of Tuesday's proceedings, Cohen told reporters "this is not about Donald Trump vs. Michael Cohen, or Michael Cohen vs. Donald Trump. This is about accountability, plain and simple, and we leave it up to Judge Engoron to make all the determinations on that." New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing the trial, issued an order before the start of the trial concluding that Trump and his associates — including his sons Eric and Donald Jr. — did inflate the value of their assets. At stake in the trial is whether or not Trump conspired to commit fraud on purpose and how much he will owe the state in penalties if so. Cohen's cross examination is expected to continue on Wednesday. More lawyers, insurers and Trump employees will fill out the week of testimonies as well. Still on the witness list: Trump himself and his children, Ivanka and co-defendants Donald Jr. and Eric. Andrea Bernstein contributed to this report.

"Instead of openness and transparency, Canadians are learning details through leaked information and the government's own self-serving promotional efforts. That's not acceptable," Mulcair said. The Privy Council Office is the department that provides non-partisan support to the prime minister and cabinet. The Conservative campaign told CBC News the government asked the PCO to offer the briefing to the opposition parties. But in a separate letter released Thursday, Liberal candidate John McCallum accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of continuing a "lack of transparency" over the deal's details. "Despite a commitment by the minister of international trade, Mr. Ed Fast, to release the text of the agreement so all Canadians can judge it on its merits before election day, media reports this week state that the details will remain secret," McCallum wrote. "It is troubling that with just four days remaining until election day, you continue to refuse to release the text of the agreement for Canadians to see." McCallum noted that a previous briefing attended by party representatives on Oct. 4 "provided no actual details beyond the limited information already released publicly." "It is simply not possible to conduct a meaningful, in-depth analysis of the 1,500-plus page agreement in 90 minutes," he wrote. I am included in briefing. I was only leader to participate in the 1st #TPP briefing. #GPC #elxn42 @CanadianGreens @Politicolnews @PnPCBC — @ElizabethMay Conservative campaign spokesman Kory Teneycke told CBC News the Liberals initially agreed to attend the Friday briefing, while the NDP declined. Teneycke said the briefing was to be based on the chapter summaries, since the final text does not exist yet. A Liberal campaign spokesman referred CBC News to McCallum's letter, but said any suggestion the party had accepted the offer of the briefing was false." ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Robb, Andrew (MP)" Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 03:51:41 +0000 Subject: Automatic reply: RE TPP Trust that LOTS of Farmers in New Brunswick and many Yankees, Icelanders and New Zealanders know exactly who I am EH John Key.

The report noted that a major component of negotiations would be Canada’s supply management system. It is imperative that this Conservative government be completely transparent on their TPP negotiations, especially in regards to what Canada is conceding in order to be accepted into this partnership. Canadian dairy and poultry producers depend on the supply management system, just as Canadian consumers rely on its stable pricing, and they all deserve assurance that their livelihoods and food safety will not be compromised in these negotiations.” http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/montreal-dairy-company-saputo-says-it-can-adapt-to-any-tpp-deal-1.2501466 "Saputo said some dairy farmers have good reason to be worried if there are dramatic changes to Canada's protective supply management system, as demanded by some of the 12 countries involved in negotiating the trade deal. But he said other farmers are efficient, can compete with anybody in the world and flourish in an unregulated system. The abolition of Canada's dairy supply management system would threaten 4,500 to 6,000 farms and up to 24,000 direct jobs across the country, according to a study released last week commissioned by dairy co-operative and Saputo rival Agropur. Up to 40 per cent of Canada's milk production would be at risk, said the 56-page report from Boston Consulting Group." http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/tpp-trade-deal-is-now-close-and-for-canada-the-last-big-issue-is-dairy-1.2592586 "Fast used more guarded language on dairy. Of that, he said: "There's still lots of work to be done." The Canadian government faces domestic pressure from dairy-producing provinces, who are not at the negotiating table but have provincial representatives in Atlanta pushing against any opening to foreign milk and cheese. Canada isn't the only country with domestic pressure: the American delegation has received a public letter from influential lawmakers urging it to walk away unless it can secure certain gains for American businesses. But the biggest U.S. business lobby is urging a deal now. It says the decade-long TPP project could be destroyed by domestic politics if it doesn't happen immediately, with elections in Canada, then the U.S., Japan and Peru next year and governments under pressure to protect individual sectors. "If we miss this opportunity I believe we may lose it forever," said Tami Overby, vice-president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "We have the Canadian election. No one knows what that outcome's going to be. We also get closer to the U.S. 2016 (presidential race) -- that gets harder. So from my perspective nothing gets better. But the risk increases, and in some cases quite significantly as time goes by." As if to underscore her point, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair announced Friday that he wouldn't consider himself bound to ratify any deal reached during the election campaign. Overby encouraged all countries to put some of the proverbial water in their wine. For Canada, that wine comes with a little more foreign cheese. She said New Zealand hasn't asked for much. But it helped spearhead the TPP project years ago, with its one major demand being access to dairy markets. Other Canadian industries are thrilled at the prospect of a deal. The head of Canada's pro-free-market agriculture group said he expects a nine-per-cent increase in canola exports alone, with big gains for other industries including pork, beef and barley. "We're extremely optimistic for our sector," said Brian Innes of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, and vice-president of the Canola Council. "We face significant trade barriers, this is the most ambitious deal in decades, and it could have a major impact on our ability to export." ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Amos Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2017 10:15:04 -0400 Subject: RE FATCA ATTN Pierre-Luc.Dusseault I just called and left a message for you To: Pierre-Luc.Dusseault@parl.gc.ca, david , "Diane.Lebouthillier" , "mark.vespucci" , mcu , curtis , "rick.hancox" Cc: David Amos , djtjr, mcohen , elizabeth.thompson@cbc.ca, "ht.lacroix" , "hon.melanie.joly" Trust that Trump, CBC and everybody else knows that I speak and act Pro Se particularly when dealing with the Evil Tax Man https://twitter.com/DavidRayAmos/with_replies http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/taxes-internal-revenue-service-fatca-united-states-1.3954789?__vfz=profile_comment%3D7320800006927 Transfer of Canadian banking records to U.S. tax agency doubled last year Documents for thousands of Canadian residents transferred under controversial FATCA legislation By Elizabeth Thompson, CBC News Posted: Jan 29, 2017 5:00 AM ET Banking records of more than 315,000 Canadian residents were turned over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service last year under a controversial information sharing deal, CBC News has learned. That is double the number transferred in the deal's first year. The Canada Revenue Agency transmitted 315,160 banking records to the IRS on Sept. 28, 2016 — a 104 per cent increase over the 154,667 records the agency sent in September 2015. Lisa Damien, spokeswoman for the CRA, attributed the increase to the fact it was the second year for the Canada-U.S. information sharing deal that was sparked by the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). "The exchange in September 2015 was based on accounts identified by financial institutions at the time," she said. "The number of reported accounts was expected to increase in 2016, because the financial institutions have had more time to complete their due diligence and identify other reportable accounts." Trudeau Nuclear Summit 20160331 Prior to coming to power, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opposed the agreement to share banking records of Canadian residents with the IRS. He has since changed his position. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press) The transmission of banking records of Canadian residents is the result of an agreement worked out in 2014 between Canada and the U.S. after the American government adopted FATCA. The U.S. tax compliance act requires financial institutions around the world to reveal information about bank accounts in a bid to crack down on tax evasion by U.S. taxpayers with foreign accounts. Dual citizens, long-term visitors affected The deal requires financial institutions to share the banking records of those considered to be "U.S. persons" for tax purposes — regardless of whether they are U.S. citizens. Among the people who can be considered by the IRS as "U.S. persons" are Canadians born in the U.S., dual citizens or even those who spend more than a certain number of days in the United States each year. Former prime minister Stephen Harper's government argued that given the penalties the U.S. was threatening to impose, it had no choice but to negotiate the information sharing deal. The former government said it was able to exempt some types of accounts from the information transfer. CRA The Canada Revenue Agency transfers banking records of people believed to be 'U.S. persons' to the IRS. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press) The Canada Revenue Agency triggered controversy after it transferred the first batch of Canadian banking records to the IRS in September 2015 in the midst of the election campaign, without waiting for an assessment by Canada's privacy commissioner or the outcome of a legal challenge to the agreement's constitutionality. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Treasury Board President Scott Brison and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale have dropped calls to scrap the deal, which they had made before the Liberals came to power. Watchdog wants proactive notification Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien has raised concerns about the information sharing, questioning whether financial institutions are reporting more accounts than necessary. Under the agreement, financial institutions only have to report accounts belonging to those believed to be U.S. persons if they contain more than $50,000. Therrien has also suggested the CRA proactively notify individuals that their financial records had been shared with the IRS. However, the CRA has been reluctant to agree to Therrien's suggestion. Racial Profiling 20160107 Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien has questioned whether the CRA is transmitting more banking records to the IRS than is necessary. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press) NDP revenue critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault said the increase in the number of files transferred was "surprising," and he questioned whether financial institutions are only sharing records of accounts worth more than $50,000. "I don't see how there would be 150,000 more accounts reportable to the IRS in one year. It is something I will look into." Dusseault said the CRA should notify every Canadian resident whose banking records are shared with the IRS. Lynne Swanson, of the Alliance for the Defence of Canadian Sovereignty, which is challenging the information sharing agreement in Federal Court, said she has no idea why the number of banking records shared with the IRS doubled. Youngest MP 20110519 NDP revenue critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault says the CRA should notify every Canadian resident whose banking records are shared with the IRS. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press) "It still seems low in comparison to the number of Canadians that are affected by this," she said. "It is estimated that a million Canadians are affected by this." Hopes for repeal Swanson hopes that U.S. President Donald Trump, or Congress — which is now controlled by the Republican Party — will scrap FATCA. The Republican platform pledged to do away with the information collecting legislation. "FATCA not only allows 'unreasonable search and seizures' but also threatens the ability of overseas Americans to lead normal lives," the platform reads. "We call for its repeal and for a change to residency-based taxation for U.S. citizens overseas." Swanson's group is also hoping the Federal Court of Canada will intervene, although a date has not yet been set for a hearing. "A foreign government is essentially telling the Canadian government how Canadian citizens and Canadian residents should be treated. It is a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms."
