A top white-collar attorney says if former FBI Director James Comey’s memos prove true, prosecutors have a case to make against President Trump for “obstruction of justice” — but would likely want stronger evidence.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if [Trump] has to speak with investigators at some point,” said Barak Cohen, a partner at Perkins Coie.

“There is definitely a case to be made for obstruction of justice,” he told The Hill, regarding the FBI investigation into Russia election interference and possible ties between members of the Trump campaign and Moscow.

Cohen, the head of Perkins Coie’s commercial litigation practice and speaking as an observer of the ongoing investigation, warned that despite the circumstantial evidence, “You’re talking about a high-profile target, and in order to really make a case you want stronger evidence.”

According to reports this week, Trump plans to retain Marc Kasowitz as his personal attorney to represent him in the federal investigation into his campaign’s alleged ties to Russia.
