Christie specifically called out former Trump attorneys Ty Cobb and John Dowd for failing to invoke executive privilege and initially cooperating with investigators, which he said had forced McGahn's hand and exposed the president to legal jeopardy. "This shows what a C-level legal team the president had, in Ty Cobb and John Dowd," Christie said on ABC's "This Week." But, Christie charged, once Cobb and Dowd waived the president's legal privilege that shielded him from investigators' document requests, they effectively prevented the president's future lawyers from legally using that privilege in the future. Absolutely not," Christie added, referring to the executive and attorney-client privileges which could have barred investigators significant access to Trump administration officials and documents. Giuliani turned to ex-CIA Director John Brennan, whose security clearance was revoked by President Trump last week.
