Trump lashes ex-lawyer, says taping of client ‘perhaps illegal’ 5 SHARES Share it! “Inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) – almost unheard of,” Trump tweeted. The Wall Street Journal said the September 2016 conversation between Trump and Cohen was about buying the rights to McDougal’s story, which she sold a month earlier to The National Enquirer for $150,000. The chairman of its parent company, American Media, is a friend of Trump. Trump’s current personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, had confirmed to the Times that the Cohen tape existed, but said it showed the president had done nothing wrong.
