FBI/LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “FBI agents who raided the home, office and hotel of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer sought communications that Trump had with attorney Michael Cohen and others regarding the infamous ‘Access Hollywood’ tape that captured Trump making lewd remarks about women a month before the election, according to sources familiar with the matter. The warrant’s specific reference to Trump is the first known direct mention of the President in a search warrant, and sources said it appeared in connection with ‘Access Hollywood.’ One of the sources said the warrant also referenced an investigation into wire fraud and bank fraud. CNN previously reported FBI agents removed Cohen’s computer, cell phone, business files and financial documents, according to the source. The search warrant also sought communications between then-candidate Trump and his associates regarding efforts to prevent disclosure of the tape, according to one of the sources.”
