House panel accuses Felix Sater of being uncooperative during a closed-door interview
The House Intelligence Committee came out swinging Tuesday night against Felix Sater, following a lengthy interview with the former business associate of President Donald Trump.
Among the evidence the panel asked for but didn’t receive, according to Boland, were unredacted phone records and documents related to a joint defense agreement with Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen.Sign Up Robert Wolf, Sater’s lawyer, said his client was asked for communications dealing with Cohen’s false statements to the committee about the project in 2017, which involved emails between Cohen and lawyers representing various Trump associates. Wolf said he told the panel that those communications were privileged but would not comment on whether a joint defense agreement was in place.
In his statement, Boland said the panel’s probe had uncovered no proof that Sater was part of a joint defense agreement, and therefore ‘has no basis to assert this privilege over these documents.”
