Laura Ingraham: After Cohen Office Raid, Trump Needs to Bring in More ‘Seasoned Lawyers’

Fox News’ Laura Ingraham –– returning to air tonight after taking a week off –– offered some advice to President Trump about his legal team.

In the past few weeks, the President has lost John Dowd and an attempt to bring on two more lawyers fell through after potential conflicts. Amid all this, the President was publicly denying reports of dissatisfaction with his legal team.

Well, today, Trump lawyer Michael Cohen‘s office was raided by the FBI and documents were seized.

Ingraham took to Twitter to advise President Trump he should get some good lawyers:

Re. the raid of @realDonaldTrump att’y Cohen’s office: “Because the attorney-client privilege belongs to the client, the client’s intent determines whether the exception applies….”

The “crime fraud” exception to attorney client privilege also extends to civil torts.

With today’s developments, @realDonaldTrump MUST expand his legal team—time to hire a few stalwart, seasoned lawyers to go up against the sharks on the other side.

Need body language expert back! Agree that @realDonaldTrump needs to uncross his arms at the Cabinet table.
