Trump tweets that lawyers ‘deflated’ by raid on Cohen
President Donald Trump said Sunday that all lawyers are now “deflated and concerned” by the FBI raid on his personal attorney Michael Cohen, who is under criminal investigation for personal business dealings.
“Attorney Client privilege is now a thing of the past,” he tweeted. “I have many (too many!) lawyers and they are probably wondering when their offices, and even homes, are going to be raided with everything, including their phones and computers, taken. All lawyers are deflated and concerned!”
Late Sunday, Cohen’s lawyer, Joanna Hendon, told a federal judge that prosecutors should not get to study evidence seized from Cohen until Cohen and the president have reviewed those materials to see what is subject to attorney-client privilege.
On ABC’S “This Week,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said, “Look, the president is very confident in the fact that he has done nothing wrong and he can’t speak on behalf of anyone else, but he’s very confident in what he has and hasn’t done.”
