A lawyer representing Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen filed a court brief that cited three cases that do not exist, according to a federal judge. The incident is similar to a recent one in which lawyers submitted fake citations originally provided by ChatGPT, but it hasn’t yet been confirmed whether Cohen’s lawyer also used an AI tool.<\/p>\n

“On November 29, 2023, David M. Schwartz, counsel of record for Defendant Michael Cohen, filed a motion for early termination of supervised release,” US District Judge Jesse Furman wrote in an order to show cause<\/a> yesterday. “In the letter brief, Mr. Cohen asserts that, ‘[a]s recently as 2022, there have been District Court decisions, affirmed by the Second Circuit Court, granting early termination of supervised release.'”<\/p>\n

Schwartz’s letter brief<\/a> named “three such examples,” citing United States v. Figueroa-Florez<\/em>, United States v. Ortiz<\/em>, and United States v. Amato<\/em>. The brief provided case numbers, summaries, and ruling dates, but Furman concluded that the cases are fake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
