President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, said he did just that.
President Donald Trump allegedly went to great lengths to prevent his college grades and SAT scores from becoming public, according to evidence provided to Congress by his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen this week.
“Please be advised that my client does not consent to any release or disclosure of any educational records to any third parties; and if in the event any of his records are released or otherwise disclosed without his prior written consent, we will hold your institution liable to the fullest extent of the law including damages and criminality,” the letter reads.
Bob Howe, a spokesman for Fordham University, the New York City college Trump attended for two years, confirmed in an emailed statement that the school doesn’t “release student records to anyone but the student/graduate or anyone that the student designates, in writing.” . You can’t sue a school if they divulge your grades In reality, it would be pretty difficult for Trump or any of his representatives to take action against the school if it published his grades, according to Jeffrey Nolan, a Burlington, Vermont-based attorney who specializes in higher education law.
In other words, “it’s well established you cannot be sued for violating FERPA and there most definitely is not any criminal liability or jail time,” Nolan said. SAT scores are a different matter The question of whether standardized test scores might end up in the public domain is a bit trickier. “We’re not commenting on the testimony,” Zach Goldberg, a College Board spokesman, said in an email.
