[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to imagine anyone taking Trump at face value about anything he says, I think is the issue. So he tells the lawyers that there's no more documents - except he's a notorious liar. So if they say "my client says there are no more documents," that seems a safe thing to say - but if they haven't verified there are no documents, then it seems like them saying "there are no documents" is willful blindness at best, and is them trying to cover up a lie, more realistically.

Attorneys have an ethical obligation to verify those kinds of statements before making them, especially if the client is known to lie.  Courts tend to have very tolerance for attorneys hiding behind “I was just reporting what my client told me” when there are clear indications that the client is not to be trusted. [/quote]

DP. And either way it puts them in the hot seat—they have to testify that their client made certai. Representations that were false (thus implicating them in a crime) or that they themselves did (implicating themselves).

Couldn’t pay me to represent a client like him—which makes me wonder how he’s gotten anyone to do it.  Blackmail?[/quote]
