3. Waiver of the California Attorney-Client Privilege
In addition to the exceptions to the privilege discussed above, you can also waive—that is, eliminate—the lawyer-client privilege by voluntarily doing either of the following:
Disclosing a significant part of the privileged communication between you and your lawyer to a third party, or
Consenting to the disclosure of that privileged communication by anyone else.36
Example: Henry has been charged with Penal Code 261 rape but argues that the sex was consensual.
The events giving rise to the charges are complicated and ambiguous, and Henry prepares a lengthy written summary of them for his criminal defense attorney.
Ordinarily, that summary would be protected by the lawyer-client privilege. But Henry then posts that summary on his personal blog so that his friends can see his side of the story.
Because Henry disclosed the summary of events voluntarily, that summary is no longer protected by the lawyer-client privilege. (However, other things he shares in confidence with his lawyer still are.)
And if you fail to claim the attorney-client privilege in a court proceeding where you have the right to do so, you will be deemed to have consented to the disclosure of privileged information (and thus waived the privilege) in that proceeding.37
My belief is that tRump consented to the disclosure of his privileged communication by his agent and legal representative, Guiliani. By not objecting publicly to this disclosure, tRump validated his consent for Guiliani to do so.
