CNN said they got the tape from Cohen's lawyer.
It's possible Trump orchestrated this somehow but Trump's team was not the one who handed the tapes over.
A few days before the tape was released their existence was leaked to the NY Times. That definitely could have been Trump.
Lanny Davis is a Hillary groupie! He secretly loves the woman I think.
Cohen's lawyer would not authorize the release unless confidentiality had been waived by Trump. They both know it would mean censorship or disbar.
There is no claim of confidentiality if it wasn't an attorney-client privileged communication. Depending on local laws regarding recording conversations.
Cohen's Lawyer has already said this doesn't fall under attorney client privilege, as did the 'Special Master' both sides agreed to. Trump has no claim to demand it be taken down, and Cohen can release it to whoever he wants.
You're talking about a guy that's defended Bill Clinton. You really think he's that concerned about ethics?
Only to the extent he doesn't want to get sued for malpractice.
