(30 May 2018) US President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, and lawyers for the president are appearing again before a judge in New York as part of an ongoing legal tussle about attorney client privilege and records seized from Cohen by the FBI.
Among the issues to be discussed: Whether Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for porn actress, Stormy Daniels, will get a formal role in the case.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has said she had sex once with Trump in 2006. Trump denies the affair.
Avenatti and lawyers for Cohen continue to denounce each other in court filings, including with submissions on Tuesday.
A court-appointed official gave U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood an upbeat report on how fast attorney-client privilege designations are being applied to materials seized from President Donald Trump's personal lawyer.
Barbara Jones said in a letter filed in federal court Tuesday that lawyers for the personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, and attorneys for Trump and the Trump Organization have designated more than 250 items as subject to the privilege. She said the material includes data from a video recorder.
Wood became involved after Cohen came to court, complaining that he feared attorney-client privilege would not be protected. Trump also expressed those concerns on Twitter.
