Prosecutors investigating President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen will finally get their hands on some four million files seized in an FBI raid in April, according to a new court filing.
Manhattan federal Judge Kimba Wood on Tuesday said that all items seized in an FBI raid on Cohen should be turned over to the feds by midnight Wednesday so long as they have not been deemed off-limits because they are protected by attorney-client privilege or are highly personal.
After that, prosecutors looking into Cohen’s financial dealings — including payments to porn star Stormy Daniels over her claimed affair with Trump — can begin analyzing the undesignated files.
Wood carved out a small exception for 22,000 documents that the Trump Organization said it needed more time to study and set a deadline of July 5 for those files.
On Monday, lawyers for Cohen said they had finished reviewing a whopping four million files seized in search of filed protected by attorney-client privilege and came up with just 12,061 files that they think should be kept from prosecutors.
