Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein reportedly personally approved the FBI raid Monday of President Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
The New York Times reported that Rosenstein signed off on the raid, in which the FBI seized emails, tax documents and records, some of them related to Cohen’s payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels.
FBI officials raided Cohen’s office in Manhattan, along with his residence and a hotel room.
Cohen’s lawyer, Stephen Ryan, said in a statement Monday that federal prosecutors in Manhattan obtained a search warrant after receiving a referral “in part” from special counsel Robert Mueller. Ryan called the search “completely inappropriate and unnecessary.”
