Trump pushes back on ex-lawyer putting out book, cites 'attorney-client privilege'
BY TAL AXELROD - 09/14/18 11:01 PM EDT President Trump on Friday pushed back against one his longtime lawyer’s criticisms of his behavior while claiming that the lawyer's upcoming book violates attorney-client privilege.
Trump asserted in a phone interview with The Wall Street Journal that his former lawyer Jay Goldberg is bitter over not being hired to a position in the White House.
“I’ve had nothing but victories, so it’s sad that somebody you can’t take to Washington for obvious reasons wants to write a book,†Trump said, citing economic gains and a bolstered military.
Goldberg represented Trump in his two divorce cases and is releasing a memoir in December called “The Courtroom Is My Theater.â€
“There’s lawyer-client privilege here. You can’t do that,†Trump told the Journal.
