New Details Emerge On FBI’s Warrant To Raid Michael Cohen’s Office
New York Times reports that the FBI obtained warrants to seize Michael Cohen’s cellphones, tablet, laptop and a safe deposit box.
The search warrants to raid President Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen’s office, hotel and home were far broader than previously known.
According to a new report by The New York Times, “Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen still were trying to determine what exactly was seized in the raids, which were even broader than have been previously reported. In addition to searching Mr. Cohen’s office and hotel room, prosecutors also obtained warrants to seize material from his cellphones, tablet, laptop and a safe deposit box, according to people briefed on the warrants.”
The revelation that the breadth of the materials seized from Cohen was significantly larger than previously known explains why Trump has been so angry about the raid.
In fact, Trump’s legal team seems very worried about what FBI agents were able to seize.
The New York Times report goes on to note, “The uncertainty around what was taken has heightened the unease around Mr. Trump, whose lawyers had projected confidence in their dealings with the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, but were caught flat-footed by the extraordinary raids on Mr. Cohen. The lawyers fear that Mr. Cohen will not be forthcoming about what was in his files, leaving them girding for the unknown.”
