Michael Cohen is ‘under criminal investigation’

News & Entertainment / April 13, 2018

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, is “under criminal investigation,” the Justice Department said Friday.

In response to Cohen’s motion to restrain the evidence collected in Monday’s raids of his home and office, the US attorney in New York asserted the raids were authorized by a federal judge to seek evidence of conduct “for which Cohen is under criminal investigation.”

The filing redacts what Cohen is under investigation for.

The filing contains the first details released by the Justice Department on the searches, which covered Cohen’s residence, hotel room, office, safety deposit boxes and electronic devices.

Cohen’s attorneys have filed a temporary restraining order in the matter. Cohen did not appear in court Friday morning.

Monday’s raids included a search for communications related to efforts to suppress negative information ahead of the election, including communications that Trump had with Cohen regarding the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape that captured Trump making lewd remarks about women that surfaced a month before the election.

Records related to Cohen’s taxi medallion business were also sought.

Cohen’s attorney, Todd Harrison, and President Donald Trump’s attorney, Joanna Hendon, asked for an adjournment earlier Friday session so they could review DOJ filing.

Hendon says her firm, Spears & Imes LLP, was engaged by Trump on Wednesday and she was “not prepared” to present her argument.

The Justice Department is asking for a so-called taint team to vet the material seized in the raids Monday, as is standard process. Cohen’s lawyer is asking for the lawyers themselves to review the material or a “special master” to decide what is relevant to the case, and Hendon is concerned about a taint team or however the material is handled.

On Monday, Cohen’s attorney called the searches “completely inappropriate and unnecessary.”

“It resulted in the unnecessary seizure of protected attorney client communications between a lawyer and his client,” attorney Stephen Ryan said in the statement.
