Donald Trump Jr.’s brazen claim of attorney-client privilege suggests Trump team desperation — again


But Donald Trump Jr. gave it a run for its money on Wednesday. In closed-door testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Trump Jr. invoked attorney-client privilege to withhold details of a conversation with his father about that Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer. However, Trump Jr. declined to detail the conversation to the committee, indicating a lawyer had been present and he believed it was subject to attorney-client privilege. Legal experts struggle to find any good reason that attorney-client privilege should apply to the situation. This is likely a frivolous assertion of the privilege.”And actually, the fact that Trump Jr. was talking to his dad is precisely the reason attorney-client privilege likely doesn't exist.
