Page 30 - Client Privilege News Today

Potential criminality and definitely cooperation with individuals, even potentially members of congress. i would say this. i think an indicted donald trump is still by far the 2024 front-runner. thats the reality. and the republican party needs to wake up to it. theres stim time for that to change. and for folks like a pence to really start to win back the party to our core values and get good beyond this kind of difficult moment. as of now he is the front-runner regardless of where this goes. >...

These individuals were obviously integral to the efforts and his arguments to subvert the result of the 2020 election. several of them will argue they have attorney/client privilege, but attorney/client privilege pertains to actual legal advice that is being provided to an individual. much of the things they were doing were public relations and were in furtherance of subverting the election itself, which would be, i would argue, privileged. >> we just talked about the attorney generals focus on ...

Fitting in. while rudy giuliani as i stressed played more than one role, it would seem the attorney/client privilege cant be cancelled or pierced by the congressional committee. >> i think we can expect that all four of the perspective witnesses will not only be recalcitrant but will defend themselves invoking attorney/client privilege. again, that will be difficult for the committee to unpack, in part because we dont know what kinds of communications are being offered up. we may have informatio...

Unpacks that one. john with me for his reporting. rudy giuliani would be a star witness, if you will. somebody every american knows, somebody who was at the presidents side, somebody who was a daily, if not hourly, proponent of the big lie, including -- including -- roads to the january 6 rally. lets listen. >> if we are wrong, we will be made fools of. but if were right, a lot of them will go to jail. so lets have trial by combat! >> he was, from election night to that speech right there, centr...

Question about what the january 6th committee is doing, since now you have so much experience in washington as well as general prosecutor experience, the committee wants to get testimony from a number of trump allies including some of his lawyers right now. rudy giuliani, jenna ellis, sidney powell. how complicated does it get when theyre trying to speak to donald trumps lawyers in a matter such as this? >> as complicated as it can possibly be. you have the normal issues of executive privilege, ...

Perspective. well watch as the judge makes his decision. let me bring your attention to washington. a couple new developments from the january 6 committee. they want subpoenas for some of the presidents closest friends, if you will, in promoting the big lie, rudy giuliani, sidney powell, jenna ellis, boris epshteyn. you know its coming, theyre going to claim attorney/client privilege. >> on the january 6 committee, their primary objective is to create a factual, correct account of what happened ...

Actually spoke to former president trump on january 6 about the options that remained to try to block the certification of electoral results. now, interestingly, i spoke with rudy giulianis attorney. he dismissed the subpoena as, quote, political theater. he noted that his client has not only claims of attorney/client privilege, but also potentially executive privilege as well. and it seems unlikely that the committee will get any information out of giuliani. we can likely expect similar argumen...

Alex jones lawyer say they will appeal that verdict. john eastman who wrote a memo for donald trump telling the lie that vice president mike pence could block the congressional certification of joe bidens electoral college victory also claimed a fifth amendment protection from the january six committee subpoena. he has invoked his fifth amendment rights to refuse to answer 140 67 anne written questions. he -- john eastmans emails from their server, a federal judge is considering easements attemp...
