Trump’s Lawyer Is in ‘The Worst Place an Attorney Can Be’ After Being Ordered to Testify in Documents Probe, Katyal Says

EXCERPT:

KATYAL: “So, first of all, Nicole, outside of having to represent Donald Trump, being forced to testify in a criminal trial of your client is just about the worst place an attorney can be. So, Mr. Corcoran has a twofer today. Attorney-client privilege is hard to break for the best of reasons.

So, if I’m meeting a client, I want them to feel like they can be free with me so I can defend them. At the same time, it’s obviously a problem if I, as their attorney am criming with them. So a client can’t like, give me the dope and have me sell it and then say, “Oh, we’re privileged or something like that.””
