Schumer: ‘Mr. President, Attorney-Client Privilege Is Alive and Well’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "So if President Trump believes this to be a partisan conspiracy, he once again ignores the fact that every major player is a Republican and all but the judges appointed by President Trump himself. But the partisan affiliation of those involved really doesn’t matter. These are all law enforcement officers simply doing their job, a job enshrined by the Constitution of the United States. The president also tweeted this morning that, quote, attorney/client privilege is dead. Mr. President, attorney/client privilege is alive and well but there’s an exception when the attorney might be involved in a crime or fraud. It’s well known as the crime fraud exception. And that exception is obviously in play today. Law enforcement officers believe there’s a good chance that the attorney for president committed crime or was involved in fraud where they couldn’t have gotten the okay from the magistrate to make these seizures.”
