Newly released documents show the FBI was looking into Michael Cohen, President Trump's former personal attorney and fixer, for nearly a year before agents raided his home and office.
Lanny Davis, an attorney for Cohen, said the release of the search warrant “furthers his interest in continuing to cooperate and providing information and the truth about Donald Trump and the Trump organization to law enforcement and Congress.”, marking the first public sign of a criminal investigation that has threatened Trump’s presidency and netted Cohen a three-year prison sentence for tax evasion and campaign-finance violations.
The raids on Cohen were triggered in part by a referral from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is separately looking into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The judge acknowledged prosecutors’ concerns that a wholesale release of the document “would jeopardize an ongoing investigation and prejudice the privacy rights of uncharged third parties,” a ruling that revealed prosecutors are still investigating Cohen’s illegal payments to two women to stay silent about alleged affairs with Trump.

MrJonCryer Maybe Meadows and Jordan can -- naah, what am I saying? Their combined peri-menstrual laser honed attack was all they could muster as a diversion.
Obama did it.
Did the documents mentioned what triggered the FBI investigation of Cohen?
