This NYC Bar podcast makes a REALLY important claim I hadn't thought about.
Trump should not be able to rely on Rudy for attorney-client privilege after he was suspended.

We know Trump is TRYING to claim privilege surrounding Rudy's presence from Robert Costello's 302 (though for conversations that pre-date his suspension).
But Costello, of all people, should know Rudy was suspended, bc he's Rudy's lawyer.
