Cohen reminded the school that Trump’s student records were protected by federal law, and violating Trump’s confidentiality could result in ‘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. This criminality will lead to jail time,’ Cohen wrote.
