Senate panel to hold public hearing with Michael Cohen


Federal agents have seized documents from President Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, The Associated Press and other news agencies reported Monday, citing Cohen's attorney.

The FBI seized documents related to several issues -- including Cohen's payments to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, The New York Times added.

“Today the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York executed a series of search warrants and seized the privileged communications between my client, Michael Cohen, and his clients,” Cohen's attorney Stephen Ryan said.

“I have been advised by federal prosecutors that the New York action is, in part, a referral by the Office of Special Counsel, Robert Mueller.”

Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, says she had sex with Trump once in 2006 and was paid $130,000 by Trump's personal attorney days before the 2016 presidential election as part of a nondisclosure agreement she is seeking to invalidate.
