FBI raids offices of Trump attorney Michael Cohen

The FBI raided the office of Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Monday afternoon and seized scores of records including documents related to hush money paid to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels.

Mr. Cohen’s attorney, Stephen Ryan, confirmed the raid to The New York Times.

“Today the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York executed a series of search warrants and seized the privileged communications between my client, Michael Cohen, and his clients,” Mr. Ryan said in a statement. “I have been advised by federal prosecutors that the New York action is, in part, a referral by the Office of Special Counsel, Robert Mueller.”
