Preet Bharara to Trump: 'Long live the crime-fraud exception'

Former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara responded to President Trump after he tweeted that the attorney-client privilege is "dead."
"Long live the crime-fraud exception," Bharara — whom President Trump fired last year after he refused to resign from his post — tweeted Tuesday.
The crime-fraud exception means that a client's communications with an attorney isn't privileged if it "involves communications in furtherance of a contemplated or ongoing crime or fraud," according to the American Bar Association.
Trump tweeted earlier Tuesday morning that “attorney–client privilege is dead” after it was reported Monday that the FBI raided the office and hotel room of Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
