As attorneys for Michael Cohen rush to meet Judge Kimba Wood’s Friday deadline to complete a privilege review of over 3.7 million documents seized in the April 9 raids of Cohen’s New York properties and law office, a source representing this matter has disclosed to ABC News that the law firm handling the case for Cohen is not expected to represent him going forward.
To date, Cohen has been represented by Stephen Ryan and Todd Harrison of the Washington and New York firm, McDermott, Will & Emery LLP.
No replacement counsel has been identified as of this time.
Cohen, now with no legal representation, is likely to cooperate with federal prosecutors in New York, sources said. This development, which is believed to be imminent, will likely hit the White House, family members, staffers and counsels hard.
After the federal raids on Cohen’s properties, President Trump lashed out in a tweet, writing, “Attorney-client privilege is dead!”
He told reporters at the White House that the move against his longtime personal attorney, which he likened to a break-in, was a “disgraceful situation.”
“It’s an attack on our country in a true sense. It’s an attack on all we stand for,” the president said during a meeting with senior military leadership at the White House. “That is really now on a whole new level of unfairness.”
Cohen then went to federal court in Manhattan arguing that his attorneys should be given a first look at the materials seized in the raids for items potentially covered by attorney-client privilege before federal prosecutors could examine the haul.

Since they did nothing wrong, why would it hit some of these people hard. Are they saying the White House, his family, staffers, and counsels were in on the alleged criminality?
Not if President Trump hits first. The Stasi are about to get it.
I can feel it in my bones.
More fakenews.
Yeah, that’s exactly what they’re trying to do, deflect the damage that is coming. Plenty of hours left today, the swamp is going to fight back.
Can’t say it enough. Matt Drudge has become a useful idiot to the left.
His site is becoming useless.
That, or Cohen can’t afford to pay for his defense anymore against the bottomless checkbooks his inquisitors have.

Just what is the underlying supposed criminal activity here?
Looks like Mueller is just randomly making life miserable based on whims. The world’s greatest super power. Thanks Jeff.

Why did he lose his lawyers?
The case is in New York because that state is a Dem feifdom where they are trying every trick possible to damage Trump. No one should delude themselves to think that this is really about Cohen. This is about naked, brutal politics. Also, Cohen will not plea bargain without legal counsel, so there is an undisclosed reason why that firm will not represent him going forward.
“Cooperate with what?”
With the lies against Trump that he is building up.
Thanks Jeff.
They can open to the public all his dealings with the President. Attorney-client privilege is dead.
The State made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.
There is NO boundaries for Mueller. Rosenstein saw to this, and won't release his memo to show anyone.
If they have to get Cohen in a campaign finance violation that even tangentially involves Trump, they will pursue it. The goal is electoral damage to Trump in 2018 and 2020, or outright impeachment.
Really Georgie, what's your proof? And do you really think he has NO legal representation and won't have any? C'mon
Mueller is trying to get a witness; a false witness will do just as good, if not better.
