Trump Rages: Attorney-Client Privilege Is Dead!

NBC News reports:



The lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels said he “feels sorry” for Donald Trump’s personal attorney, branding him the president’s “scapegoat” after it was revealed that the FBI on Monday raided Michael Cohen’s office and hotel room. “I think when push comes to shove he’s going to fold like a cheap deck of cards, I really do,” Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, told MSNBC’s “The Beat” on Monday night.

Meanwhile, Trump tweeted twice early Tuesday, saying vaguely that “attorney–client privilege is dead” and “A TOTAL WITCH HUNT!!!” The New York Times, which was the first to report the search of Cohen’s New York City office, said it involved several other topics besides the Daniels payment. The FBI and federal prosecutors sought and executed the search warrants in coordination with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team.
