Special master: Fraction of all documents seized in Michael Cohen case fall under attorney-client privilege

The court-appointed special master reviewing the materials seized by the FBI from former personal attorney for President Trump, Michael Cohen, in April released another report Friday, saying only a small fraction of them fall under attorney-client privilege.

According to court documents, Barbara Jones reviewed eight boxes of hard copy materials, which she said contained “639 total items consisting of 12,543 pages.” Of these, Jones said she agrees with Cohen’s defense and federal prosecutors that 13 items are privileged or partially privileged, and one “remains under consideration.”
