The Trump Organization is dragging its feet in the case against President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen, according to federal prosecutors.
The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Robert Khuzami, wrote to Judge Kimba Wood on Monday requesting the court to reject the Trump Organization’s request for more time to review documents that were seized from Cohen’s office, hotel room and home, Talking Points Memo reports.
Khuzami notes that the court ordered Cohen, the Plaintiff, and the Trump Organization, the Intervenor, “to complete their designation of potentially privileged material by June 27, 2018," and that the affirmation from the Trump Organization requesting more time "makes no mention of the resources the Intervenor has dedicated to this process or why, in light of the small fraction of material provided by Plaintiff for the Intervenors’ review — much less found to be privileged by the Special Master to date—such additional time is required."
The U.S. Attorney adds that "the Government has already consented to an adjournment of the Plaintiff’s time to make designations, and it has been nearly three months since execution of the search warrants. Further delay will unreasonably impede the Government’s investigation."
