FBI/MEDIA/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Fox News said on Tuesday [4-17-18] it was putting its ‘full support’ behind television host Sean Hannity after it was revealed that he had an ‘informal relationship’ with U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen. Fox News said that it did not know about the relationship. The Federal Bureau of Investigation raided Cohen’s home and office on April 9 as part of a criminal investigation, seizing as many as 10 boxes, hard drives and electronic equipment. U.S. prosecutors conducted the search partly on a referral by the Office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Federal prosecutors are investigating Cohen for possible bank and tax fraud, and possible campaign law violations in connection with a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels and perhaps other matters having to do with foreign support to Trump’s 2016 campaign, a source familiar with the investigation said.”
