Morning Docket: 08.20.18

* It turns out that Don McGahn, the White House counsel, has been cooperating "extensively" with Robert Mueller's obstruction investigation. He's apparently been sharing "detailed accounts" for his own legal security because he thought President Trump might be trying to set him as the fall guy. [New York Times]

* Judge T.S. Ellis says that he's received threats while overseeing Paul Manafort's trial and that he is now under the protection of U.S. Marshals. He's refused to release the names of the jurors out of a genuine concern for their safety. [USA Today]

* Federal prosecutors are reportedly preparing charges related to bank and tax fraud for Michael Cohen. He allegedly misrepresented his assets to obtain loans and failed to properly report income from his taxi medallions. Yikes! [CNN]

* Speaking of Cohen, Bracewell partner Barbara Jones has concluded her privilege review of the more than 3.2 million documents seized from Michael Cohen, and found that about 7,150 were actually privileged -- a fraction of what was taken, and a fraction of what Cohen's legal team claimed was privileged. [New York Law Journal]
