Fox in the Henhouse UPDATE: Cohen asks judge to let Trump VET THE DOCUMENTS seized by the fBI [View all]

An attorney for Donald Trump asked a judge on Friday to let the president have a say on which records seized by the FBI from his personal lawyer Michael Cohen should be kept secret from federal prosecutors.
Joanna Hendon, who said she had been hired by Trump late on Wednesday, argued that Trump should be able to object to the disclosure of records relating to his long-time legal representation by Cohen.
“As a privilege holder he has an acute interest in these proceedings and in the manner that these materials are reviewed,” Hendon said at Manhattan federal court.

Hendon persuaded Judge Kimba Wood to delay until Monday a hearing where Cohen’s lawyers were to argue for a restraining order temporarily banning authorities from inspecting the records.
