Privacy law prevents colleges, schools and the College Board, the nonprofit that administers the SAT exam, from releasing grades and test scores without permission.
Michael Cohen, President Trump's former personal attorney, testifies Wednesday before the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
During his testimony, Cohen referenced a May 2015 letter he wrote to the Rev. Joseph M. McShane, president of Fordham University. In the letter, Cohen said the release of Trump’s records without his consent “is expressly prohibited by law, with any violation thereof exposing the subject educational institution to both criminal and civil liability and damages including, among other things, substantial fines, penalties and even the potential loss of government aid and other funding.
“We told the caller that Fordham is bound by federal law, and that we could not/would not reveal/share any records with anyone except Mr. Trump himself, or any recipient he designated, in writing,” university spokesman Bob Howe said in an emailed statement. Cohen attended the public hearing to talk about his personal and professional relationship with Trump. On Tuesday, he met with the Senate Intelligence Committee behind closed doors, answering questions related to its investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 election.
“The irony wasn’t lost on me at the time that Mr. Trump in 2011 had strongly criticized President Obama for not releasing his grades," Cohen said Wednesday on Capitol Hill."As you can see, Mr. Trump declared, ‘Let him show his records’ after calling President Obama ‘a terrible student.’ ” Cohen presented a news article that showed Trump questioning how Obama, who he said had been a “terrible student,” was accepted to Columbia University and Harvard Law School.
