Trump Asks to Review Material Seized from Cohen
April 15, 2018 at 11:45 pm EDT
By Taegan Goddard
President Trump asked a federal judge Sunday night to allow him to review documents that FBI agents seized from the office of his longtime lawyer before criminal investigators have a chance to see the material, the Washington Post reports.
The request underscores the high stakes in an ongoing legal fight in federal court in New York, where Michael Cohen, Trumps lawyer, is also fighting to get a chance to review material seized as part of a criminal investigation of his business dealings.

(16,423 posts)1. Haha! Nope. Sorry. Attorney-client-privilege. Cohen had other clients beside Trump.
Trump has no right to go through confidential info on Cohen's other clients.
EDIT:
Before Trump gets to see anything, the investigators must first sort out what kind of material from Cohen Trump is allowed to see and not to see.

So Nina is second guessing a special counsel who had to jump through hoops to get the authority for the raid? I am not at all worried.

They should let tRump view the docs/recordings. tRump and tRump alone. In a televised setting. With people in white coats on standby.
