FBI agents sought records tied to President Trump’s infamous “Access Hollywood” recording when they raided the law office and hotel room of his personal lawyer, according to a new report Wednesday.

The warrant that authorized Monday’s searches also allowed the feds to seize evidence showing whether lawyer Michael Cohen tried to suppress damaging information about Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, the New York Times reported.

Cohen has admitted paying porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 as part of agreement signed 11 days before the election in which Daniels agreed not to discuss her claim of having slept with Trump in 2006.

Both Cohen and Trump have said Trump was not aware of the deal.

Trump was the star of “The Apprentice” when he was caught on a hot microphone bragging to Billy Bush, then the host of “Access Hollywood,” about how his fame enabled him to kiss women and “grab them by the p—y.”

The 2005 recording — made shortly after Trump married his third wife, first lady Melania Trump — didn’t surface publicly until about a month before the 2016 election, when it was revealed by the Washington Post.

Trump initially downplayed the recording as “locker-room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago” and offered an apology “if anyone was offended.”

Following harsh criticism from fellow Republicans, Trump later released a video statement in which he said: “I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.”
