      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.

          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

          Two victims of Schneiderman arguably sought #PeterGleason's legal advice and he provided it, i.e., don't go to the Manhattan DA's office etc. Then #PeterGleason breached attorney-client privilege and divulged details of his communications with these women to Cohen? SLEAZEBALL!!!

          No - he breached privilege by telling a reporter and telling the reporter to tell a powerful private citizen who then told his attorney who then called Gleason. By the time Gleason spoke to Cohen the privilege had vanished into negative space.

          Irrespective of the sequence of events, #PeterGleason violated legal ethical and evidentiary rules by disclosing his communications with Schneiderman's victims to a third party. Now #PeterGleason is disingenuously acting as if he cares about the victims' identities. Nonsense.
