Trump Waives Attorney-Client Privilege On Secret Cohen Recording
• zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden...with the President starting in 2006, reports the Washington Examiner.
A secretly recorded conversation between President Trump and his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen was reportedly deemed privileged material by the special master reviewing a trove of documents and electronic files seized from Cohen by the FBI in April.
Vanity Fair's Emily Jane Fox told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Friday that a source familiar with the situation told her the tape was protected by attorney-client privilege, "but the president's attorneys waived the privilege." -Washington Examiner
The move comes amid claims by Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani's claim that the tape vindicates Trump and shows no wrongdoing - further driving a wedge between the President and his former longtime "fixer" Cohen. Cohen recently hired Clinton-pal attorney Lanny Davis to represent him.
