    Here's the odd letter filed in the Cohen matter: A lawyer says he talked with Cohen about allegations against Schneiderman in the past, claims Trump "evidently" was informed of the allegations as well. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4457473-Cohen-v-USA-Protective-Order-Lettewr-051118.html …pic.twitter.com/143HVvdy1g

        Nope. None of our leads came via Trump people, and we had no knowledge of Gleason. No surprise there were other investigations—legit ones and political smears—as allegations were so widespread. But ours didn’t flow from any of that. Women in the story were all Dems, incidentally. pic.twitter.com/WxDMDhiKzm

        Just to be clear: not one source for our story on Schneiderman has any ties to Trump or Michael Cohen. Our sources all are deeply opposed to Trump and deeply disappointed that Schneiderman let them and their Cause down.

        Weiner is gone, Spitzer is gone - next will be lightweight A.G. Eric Schneiderman. Is he a crook? Wait and see, worse than Spitzer or Weiner

        UPDATE: I have not been able to get Gleason to confirm this letter filing, let alone provide any additional information that might back up these explosive claims.

        Neither Michael Cohen nor any of his lawyers have responded to a request for comment on the letter filing and circumstances described in it.

        Giuliani tells me that he's not yet talked to Trump about Gleason's claims, but says that people might have wanted to share the info b/c it "could be of use to the president" given Schneiderman's then-recently filed Trump U lawsuit —> https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/lawyer-claims-trump-team-knew-of-claims-schneiderman?utm_term=.qorMEN4Wq#.kqkK3z75o …pic.twitter.com/r4fHVjxNq8

        There is virtually no construct under which this material would be privileged.

        Right. I literally had just DM’ed about that. I’ve definitely not yet gotten to the merits of the request bc it’s so meritless.

        Why would any lawyer make such a ridiculous request? Must be a LOT at stake.

        So people sat on the testimonials of vulnerable women for years until it was politically expedient to release them?

        That’s what I thought too. This “lawyer” ultimately put his clients well being beneath obtaining dirt on a foe. How can that be ethical?

        Not only is it unethical, I wonder if the New York State Bar Association would have an issue with it.

        This letter seems to provide a ton of excuses for why this attorney did nothing for Schneiderman's victims and attempts to get ahead of the revelation that he passed attorney/client information on to Cohen/Trump. This attorney provided blackmail to Cohen/Trump on Scheniderman.
