Michael Cohen Says Trump Told Him to Threaten Schools Not to Release Grades

Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, told Congress on Wednesday that Mr. Trump had instructed him to send threatening letters to his alma maters, warning of jail time for anyone who released his transcripts.

“I’m talking about a man who declares himself brilliant but directed me to threaten his high school, his colleges and the College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores,” Mr. Cohen said, part of broad testimony he gave before the House Oversight Committee.

One of those letters was sent to Fordham University in May 2015, a month before Mr. Trump declared that he was running for president. Mr. Trump attended the university for two years before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania.

Re: Records of Donald J. Trump

Dear Reverend McShane,

Please be advised that I am Executive Vice President and Special Counsel to Donald J. Trump.

It has come to my attention that several media outlets have asked for the release of my client's records. We have turned down these requests.

As I am sure you are aware, pursuant to applicable law, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Section 1232g; 34s CFR Part 99), the release or disclosure, in any form, of such records (or any information contained in such records) to any third party without my client's prior written authorization is expressly prohibited by law, with any violation thereof exposing the subject educational institution to both criminal and civil liability and damages including, among other things, substantial fines, penalties and even the potential loss of government aid and other funding. The criminality will lead to jail time.

Accordingly, please be advised that (i) my client does not consent to any release or disclosure of any educational records to any third parties; and (ii) if in the event any of his records are released or otherwise disclosed without his prior written consent, we will hold you institution liable to the fullest extent of the law including damages and criminality. As you are again no doubt aware, this notice applies to any and all of The College Board's employees, agents, third parties, by vendors and any other person or entity acting for or on its behalf.

I thank you for your cooperation. Please guide yourself accordingly and contact me to inform me that the records have been permanently sealed.

Very truly yours,

Michael D. Cohen

P.S. Mr. Trump truly enjoyed his two years at Fordham and has great respect for the University.

That letter, addressed to the Rev. Joseph M. McShane, Fordham’s president, forbade the school to release his transcripts to the news media, citing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which bars the disclosure of educational records to third parties.

Releasing the records would result in “both criminal and civil liability and damages, including, among other things, substantial fines, penalties and even the potential loss of government aid and other funding,” the letter warned. “The criminality will lead to jail time.”

A spokesman for Fordham, Bob Howe, confirmed receipt of the letter, and said the university had also received a call beforehand. “We told the caller that Fordham is bound by federal law,” Mr. Howe said, adding that the school “could not” and “would not” share any records.

Representatives from the College Board and the University of Pennsylvania declined to comment for this article.

A similar letter was sent to the dean of Mr. Trump’s high school.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment. A statement from the Trump campaign on Wednesday did not directly address the communications with the schools, but broadly called Mr. Cohen’s credibility into question.

Michael E. Latham, a former dean at Fordham who learned of the letter on Wednesday, described it as “very unusual” and said that in his 23 years in higher education he had never received one like it — in part because it was unnecessary.

“It’s such an obvious thing not to do — the law is so clear,” said Mr. Latham, who is currently the vice president for academic affairs at Grinnell College. “It’s sort of Registrar 101.”

The letter ended on a personal note: “P.S. Mr. Trump truly enjoyed his two years at Fordham and has great respect for the University,” it read.

A similar letter was sent to the New York Military Academy in Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y., where Mr. Trump attended high school, said Mika Saarela, the former dean of academics.

The letter, he said, was nearly identical to the one Fordham received. “Even with the P.S. part,” Mr. Saarela confirmed.

As early as 2011, Mr. Trump chided President Barack Obama for not releasing his own academic records, calling him a “terrible student.”

“The irony was not lost on me,” Mr. Cohen said in his congressional testimony.

Trump announces departure of White House lawyer Emmet Flood

President Trump on Saturday announced the departure of White House lawyer Emmet Flood.

Trump tweeted that Flood, who represented the White House during special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, will leave the White House June 14.{mosads}

“Emmet Flood, who came to the White House to help me with the Mueller Report, will be leaving service on June 14th,” Trump wrote.

Emmet Flood, who came to the White House to help me with the Mueller Report, will be leaving service on June 14th. He has done an outstanding job – NO COLLUSION – NO OBSTRUCTION! Case Closed! Emmet is my friend, and I thank him for the GREAT JOB he has done.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 1, 2019

“He has done an outstanding job – NO COLLUSION – NO OBSTRUCTION! Case Closed!” the president added. “Emmet is my friend, and I thank him for the GREAT JOB he has done.”

The Wall Street Journal reported in March that Flood was expected to leave the White House in the months after Mueller’s investigation concluded, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The Hill has reached out to The White House for additional comment.

Flood also helped defend former President Clinton during his impeachment proceedings in the 1990s.

While representing the Trump White House, Flood complained that the Mueller report contained “political” statements in a letter to Attorney General William Barr, according to multiple reports.

In the letter, Flood said the report was suffering from “an extraordinary legal defect” and criticized Mueller for saying that his inquiry did not “exonerate” the president.

Confronted with multiple errors in his new Trump book, a testy Michael Wolff says, 'You have to trust me'
by Michael Isikoff, Chief Investigative Correspondent
yahoo.com/news
Updated Sat, June 8, 2019 at 11:12 AM PDT

[x]

After portraying himself as a reliable chronicler of Donald Trump’s White House, author Michael Wolff is taking a page from the president when confronted with the multiple factual errors in his new book, “Siege: Trump Under Fire.”

“Even if I was wrong, I’m not going to admit it to you,” said Wolff in an interview for the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.”

Wolff, in that case, was refusing to back down on one of his relatively minor mistakes: He claimed in one passage of his book that former Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand — briefly a possible candidate to oversee the Russia investigation — was nominated by President Obama. In fact, she was nominated by Trump.

But talking about his new book, Wolff stuck to the same no-apologies, no-retreat line about a host of other more consequential errors and questionable claims, including his sensational assertion that he has copies of a March 2018 draft indictment of Trump prepared by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office charging the president with three counts of obstruction of justice.

[x]

Mueller’s office said that the documents described by Wolff “do not exist,” and Mueller himself, in his only statement to the press, emphasized that due to Justice Department legal opinions, “charging the president with a crime was therefore not an option we could consider.”

Wolff remains unrepentant and insists he’s obtained material proving a planned indictment that nobody else covering the Mueller probe has been able to get their hands on — or even confirm exists. “There’s no other reporter who’s produced documents or even claims to produce documents,” he said. “I am the only person who might begin to claim to have some insight here.”

In the “Skullduggery” interview, Wolff repeatedly brushed aside questions about the authenticity of his claimed documents, including why the title of the supposed indictment he quotes from — “United States of America Against Donald J. Trump” — is conspicuously different than the wording used in all other Justice Department indictments. (They read “United States of America v” the defendant, not “against.”)

“Maybe not draft indictments, maybe not this, I don’t know,” Wolff said when asked about the odd wording on his claimed indictment. “All I am doing is quoting from two things: a document given to me by an incredibly authoritative source ... and a document, on its face, that is incredibly convincing.”

But it is not clear how convincing Wolff’s document is either. Wolff claims one of the supposed grounds on which Mueller’s office was planning to indict Trump was the president’s alleged attempt to interfere with testimony by FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and efforts to retaliate against him. Yet none of the 10 episodes of potential obstruction detailed in Mueller’s final report even mention the events surrounding McCabe’s testimony or retaliation against him.

Wolff was also questioned about other apparent errors in his latest book:

Wolff wrote that in April 2018, when the FBI searched his residence and office, Michael Cohen “sat handcuffed for hours in his kitchen.” But Cohen was never arrested or charged with a crime that day, making it implausible that he would have been handcuffed. Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis said in a text to Yahoo News that “neither Michael Cohen nor his wife nor anyone else was handcuffed during the FBI search.”

“I have no idea on the basis on which someone is handcuffed,” said Wolff when asked about his claim that Cohen had been handcuffed. “I know that the description of the scene that was given to me, again, a very good source on this, had him sitting in the kitchen in handcuffs.”

Wolff wrote that Don McGahn, Trump’s pick for White House counsel, had never worked “anywhere in government.” In fact, McGahn had served as chair and vice chair of the Federal Election Commission, during a five-year stint with the agency.

Wolff also insisted, wrongly, that the FEC “is not a part of the government.”

Wolff wrote that former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler had been the “previous occupant” of McGahn’s office. In fact, she had left the White House in 2014, and Neal Eggleston was McGahn’s predecessor.

Wolff wrote that President Bill Clinton “could hardly stomach his Attorney General Janet Reno, having to weather the blow back from her decisions regarding Ruby Ridge.” In fact, the siege at Ruby Ridge, Idaho — a site where an armed family of right-wing zealots were surrounded by federal agents — took place in August 1992, when William Barr was attorney general, not Reno.

The exchange over Wolff’s multiple mistakes grew testy at times.

“You get all these things wrong and then you ask us to trust you,” this correspondent said to Wolff.

“No, you get these things wrong,” Wolff retorted. “This critique is bulls***!”

Wolff insisted that none of the questions about his accuracy matter or are significant, noting that he had faced many of the same criticisms about his last book, “Fire and Fury.”

“The object of this book, as with the last book — and I remember I went through the same thing with the last book … is about trying to re-create life in Trump world,” he said. “It’s trying to give readers a sense of what this experience is, of what goes on here, of the tenure, of the language, of the emotional life of Trump world.”

Wolff claimed that due to being a New York-based journalist for the last 40 years, “I know these people. I have an access here that most other people involved in this story do not have.”

Yet most of Wolff’s sources are anonymous, with the notable exception of Steve Bannon, the former White House strategist who was banished from Trump world in August 2017 and hasn’t spoken to the president ever since.

Pressed on his sourcing, and whether he would release copies of the supposed Mueller draft indictment memos he claims to have gotten, Wolff averred. He couldn’t release copies, he said, because that might expose one of his anonymous “authoritative” sources.

“You just have to trust me,” he said.
