https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/13/prosecutors-slam-trump-lawyer-cohens-hearing-request-in-fbi-raids.htmlBut the prosecutors say they have already conducted searches of Cohen's email accounts, "covert until this point," which they say "indicate that Cohen is in fact performing little to no legal work, and that zero emails were exchanged with President Trump."
This line of attack extends to a law firm from which Cohen received a $500,000 "strategic alliance fee" each year.
"Based upon conversations with a representative of the law firm," the attorneys said they found that:
" (1) Cohen did not have an email address associated with the firm; (2) Cohen did not have access to the firm's shared drives or document systemsand vice versa; (3) Cohen's documents were to be kept in a locked filing cabinet; and (4) Cohen did not have access to any of the firm's client files."
Counsel for the Trump Organization told the prosecutors that it considers "each and every communication by, between or amongst" Cohen, the organization and its employees to be protected by attorney-client privilege. The U.S. attorneys called that claim "inaccurate and/or overbroad."
