Barak Cohen was quoted in the CBC article, "Michael Cohen Knows a Lot. No Wonder the U.S. President Sounds Worried About FBI Raids on His Lawyer," regarding the recent Department of Justice move to override attorney-client privilege.

"It's pretty remarkable," former federal prosecutor Barak Cohen said of the move to overcome attorney-client privilege and execute the search warrant.

"For the Department of Justice to have done this, they would have required special clearance from the U.S. Attorney ... and high-level clearance from the Department of Justice."
