BREAKING – FBI Executes a Search Warrant on Trump’s Attorney’s Office
By: Lisa Hayes – Confluence Daily is your daily news source for women in the know.
The Southern District of New York has issued a search warrant on the office of Michael Cohen. Cohen is currently serving as Trump’s lead attorney in the Mueller probe.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan obtained the search warrant after receiving a referral from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, according to Mr. Cohen’s lawyer, who called the search “completely inappropriate and unnecessary.” The search does not appear to be directly related to Mr. Mueller’s investigation but likely resulted from information he had uncovered and gave to prosecutors in New York.
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. Although communications between attorneys and clients are usually privileged, in some circumstances they can be reviewed – the kinds of circumstances that require warrants of this nature.
