Special master in Cohen case rejects more than a third of legal team's privileged items
« on: July 20, 2018, 04:14:30 am »
The special master in the case of President Trump's former longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, has reportedly rejected more than a third of his legal team’s assertions that documents seized by federal agents are limited by attorney-client privilege.

According to court documents filed Thursday, Special master Barbara Jones found that 1,452 out of the 4,085 items designated privileged by the lawyer’s legal team are not privileged. Jones "agrees with the plaintiff" that 2,633 of the documents or records meet attorney-client privilege standards.

The items that have been designated not privileged will “promptly be released to the government" for potential use by prosecutors in the case against Cohen, court documents say.
