from washington tonight. thanks for being with us. the phony democracy defenders, the focus of tonight s angle. just as they scramble to stop the rising trump campaign back in 2015, they re back in mode again making wild and scary predictions. trump is promising to resort to authoritarian tactic should he become president again. you don t think he is dying to silence the media, think again. his top priority is vengeance. donald trump uses nazi terminology. laura: headlines are so bad, they are funny. why trump s presidency may be more radical than the first. blah, blah, blah, you get it. trump turned the table on biden. over the past few years, you have watched biden s marxist try to stop free speech, destroy attorney-clients privilege. bogs charges. we love you! somehow i m not worried. that s why we are doing. this we have to straighten out our country. laura: of course the new york times poo pooed president trump s attack. accusations against mr. biden, whi
batch of around 22,000 documents as well as audio files late last week and that going through all of those materials will take at least several weeks. so they are asking now for a two-week extension. the government is opposing that request. they ve responded by saying that the trump organization should only get a one-week extension maximum and it is clear, wolf, that the government would like to keep the process moving along and we re still awaiting for the judge to weigh in as well. i should also quickly note, we have just gotten word that michael cohen s lawyers have informed judge wood that they have completed going through more than 4 million files seized as a part of the raid. they say they ve designated over 12,000 files as privileged under attorney clients privilege. a lot of legal developments. m.j., thank you very much. and coming up, i ll speak to michael avenatti about why federal prosecutors canceled the interview with her. plus president trump goes on a public shamin
necessarily needed in order for it to be granted. there is a couple of pieces. the judge said attorney clients privilege is broken and the feds want to go into a lawyer s house and not only his house but office and hotel room, this better be really good. the second thing is, look, judges aren t idiots. especially federal judges. the judge is saying, oh, hold on a second. this is donald trump s attorney and this is all over jake tapper, i m on double secret probation if i get this one wrong. so i think they re looking at this when i look at this i said the feds must have shown up for the search warrant with stuff really nasty and now we re seeing the end game where michael cohen is realizing this is going to be bad with the feds. and we know scott jennings, that we we don t know what this has to do with. there is no evidence it has anything to do with the russia investigation, in fact the contrary, it was referred from mueller to the southern district of new york because it wasn
of new york court in front of a judge. what s at stake. the government s theory is and i read the government s documents over the weekend which are on the internet and anybody can read them. the government s theory michael cohen a practicing lawyer for the most part didn t practice law. he was a fixer. he was a dirty tricksster. if he is not practicing law. doing these things some of which are lawful, some of which there is no attorney clients privilege and how are they going to prove that in the government is going to put michael cohen himself on the witness stand. brian: today? today. and they re going to grill him. a federal judge long time respected federal judge, i don t even remember who appointed her. she was almost the attorney general under bill clinton. he might have appointed her, will decide you were practicing law. therefore, these are privileged. you are not practicing law, therefore, they are not privileged. a vetting team of three state u.s. attorneys owho have noth
today the u.s. attorney s office for the southern district of new york executed a series of search warrants and seized the privilege communications between my client and his clients. i ve been advised by federal prosecutors that the new york action is in part of a referral by the office of special counsel robert mueller. i have laura coats on the phone, former federal prosecutor. laura, your reaction to this? i m no lawyer but it seems rather unusual for an attorney s office to be raided by the fbi. it is normally very unusual for that to happen. ands you have the attorney-clients privilege and you have to circumvent to get any information worthwhile. but you understand this is yet again another instance of the special counsel who by surprise attack likely and in an effort to ensure nothing that may be fleet la guardia be disposed of, any hard evidence or anything that would not fall under attorney-client privilege would be preserved in an effort to get
