Michael Cohen Recorded Donald Trump for ‘Insurance’ Should President Turn on Him, Legal Expert Says
By recording Trump possibly without his knowledge, Cohen may have violated ethics rules in New York City. Bruce Green, a professor of law at Fordham University, pointed to an opinion handed down by the New York City Bar‘s ethics commission in 2003 that found “undisclosed taping as a routine practice is ethically impermissible. We further believe that attorneys should be extremely reluctant to engage in undisclosed taping and that, in assessing the need for it, attorneys should carefully consider whether their conduct, if it became known, would be considered by the general public to be fair and honorable.”
