In reply to the discussion: BREAKING : Cohen is preparing to flip [View all]greyl
(22,990 posts)1. Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen likely to cooperate as his attorneys leave case, sources say
As attorneys for Michael Cohen rush to meet Judge Kimba Woods Friday deadline to complete a privilege review of over 3.7 million documents seized in the April 9 raids of Cohens 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.
