I follow a few lawyer YouTubers, like the hosts of the Legal AF podcast.
They all predicted that Trump would drop the case this week because he's run out of ways to avoid the deposition.
In fact, last week, he lied to the judge in that case, saying that he couldn't make the scheduled deposition this week because he had to be in court all week. But he skipped out on that trial on Wednesday, so that was a lie.
So he was about to have to do the deposition that might ruin him, and he'd also have to explain to the judge why he lied. So guaranteed that he'd drop the case instead.
To these lawyers, the only question was whether Cohen would counter sue, and it seems likely that he will.

A counter-suit would be a spicy meatball and I very much hope to see it.
