It's was about a half hour of incoherent rambling but he did manage to possibly fuck up his defense in the Stormy Daniels case
He may also have undermined his case in more roundabout ways: at another point, he referred to his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen as having done a “tiny, tiny little fraction of my legal work”—an apparent attempt to distance himself from Cohen, who he admitted represented him in “this crazy Stormy Daniels deal.” Michael Avenatti, Daniels’s lawyer, immediately called the admission a “gift from the heavens” and “hugely damaging”: not only did Trump’s statement suggest he was aware that Cohen had paid hush money to Daniels, it also undercut Cohen’s argument that his communications with Trump, recently seized by the F.B.I., are protected by attorney-client privilege.
Federal prosecutors have argued that Cohen—who is being investigated by the Southern District of New York—is barely a lawyer, and therefore has little evidence to support the contention that his files should be kept out of the F.B.I.’s hands. And indeed, it took next to no time for prosecutors to use Trump’s interview as evidence. Less than two hours later, lawyers from the S.D.N.Y. told a federal judge they no longer objected to a third party determining whether certain documents from the Cohen raid were protected by attorney-client privilege—a claim that Cohen has made vociferously—arguing that if Cohen only conducted a “tiny, tiny little fraction” of legal work for the president, it would ”suggest that the seized materials are unlikely to contain voluminous privileged documents.” One wonders how Trump’s own lawyers, who joined Cohen’s argument last week, are feeling about their client pouring napalm on their defense.
