The FBI right now is conducting a raid on the offices of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney. Special Counsel Robert Mueller contacted the FBI which subsequently got a search warrant and began the search.
The New York Times reports the FBI is “seizing records related to several topics including payments to a pornographic-film actress.”
The Times adds the “seized records include communications between Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen, which would likely require a special team of agents to review because conversations between lawyers and clients are protected from scrutiny in most instances.”
UPDATE –
Cohen’s home was also raided:
UPDATE II:
FBI also raided a hotel room and Rockefeller Center office currently being used by Mueller, according to MSNBC.
