Mika Brzezinski has accused President Donald Trump of being involved in a ‘multitude of fraudulent schemes’.
The commander-in-chief had angrily tweeted about the FBI raid on his lawyer Michael Cohen’s office reportedly as part of an investigation into possible bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance violations
‘Attorney Client privilege is now a thing of the past. I have many (too many!) lawyers and they are probably wondering when their offices, and even homes, are going to be raided with everything, including their phones and computers, taken. All lawyers are deflated and concerned!’ he tweeted on Sunday.
The host of NBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ replied to the tweet and accused of him having a ‘criminal’ relationship with his attorney.

The commander-in-chief had angrily tweeted on Sunday morning about the FBI raid on his lawyer Michael Cohen’s office reportedly as part of an investigation into possible bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance violations
The host of NBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ replied to the tweet and accused of him having a ‘criminal’ relationship with his attorney
‘Let me ease their minds: When their relationship is not used in furtherance of a crime, their attorney-client relationship is safe,’ she wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
‘Which is problematic since they’re dealing with you and your multitude of fraudulent schemes (at least that’s what I hear, Donald.) ‘
Brzezinski and her co-host Joe Scarborough have had a long-running feud with Trump with the two parties often trading insults back and forth.
On Thursday, the TV hosts slammed the president, who had tweeted that he hadn’t received enough thanks for military gains in the Middle East.
‘This is a guy who responds to cable news, who responds to hearing that he’s made the same mistake that Barack Obama made,’ Scarborough said.
‘He immediately tweets something out, and the commander-in-chief is saying, ‘Where is our thank you, America?’ Instead of the commander-in-chief thanking the men and the women who put their lives on the line every day across the world, who have done an extraordinary job with the help of commanders in the field and generals, helping fight ISIS.’

And it’s not only the president that critiques have been launched against.
Back in February, Brzezinski issued a scathing indictment of both First Lady Melania Trump and White House adviser Ivanka Trump on ‘Morning Joe’, saying the two women have ‘fake jobs.’
It was a brutal tear down of the women, which came after she and Scarborough discussed Ivanka’s refusal to engage with NBC reporter Peter Alexander when asked about the multiple women who have accused her father of sexual misconduct.
Ivanka said it was unfair to pose such a question to her as the daughter of President Trump.
Brzezinski responded to that statement with a few remarks of her own, delivered in a very even tone but filled with some very sharp criticism.
‘Well it’s not like she’s transportation secretary. She came in there to fight for women and she can’t handle a question like that,’ said Brzezinski.

She accused the women of having ‘fake jobs’ and said it was laughable that Melania Trump had a campaign against cyberbullying considering the attacks on her husband (pictured. Ivanka Trump and Melania Trump visit the Vatican, May 2017)
‘The whole thing is a joke. An utter joke. Just like Melania’s role on cyberbullying, which I think is an insult to women, completely.’
She went on to say that she also expected Chief of Staff John Kelly would be ‘forced to put out a nice statement about Ivanka and how effective she is’ in the wake of a CNN report that claimed he was annoyed with the decision to have her travel to South Korea on state business.
Brzenski noted that this would just ‘add to the joke.’
Scarborough then jumped in and said: ‘And Melania Trump continues to speak about cyberbullying…’
Brzezinski was still in a state of befuddlement however, cutting him off to mutter: ‘It’s beyond comprehension.’
Scarborough continued: ‘When you have her husband saying that a New York senator, actually implying that the New York senator would be willing to do sexual favors for campaign donations, and a thousand other attacks against women – you — and other people on Twitter.’
That is when Brzezinski really went after the pair, stating: ‘And furthermore insulting to women when you have women, these women, have been given fake jobs.’
