      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.

      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.

          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

          They are disarming Trump preemptively. Mueller / Schneiderman ties make #NXIVM and Schneiderman behavior a severe liability.

          Lots of people claiming Trump/Cohen knew since 2013. I don’t think the letter is clear about the timing of when he supposedly shared this with the reporter and talked to Cohen. Thoughts?

          IF Trump and/or Cohen were aware of the allegations against Schneiderman, did they hold it close to the vest, or did they make sure Schneiderman knew? If the latter, did that ever influence a decision not to pursue any investigation into Trump’s activities?
