FBI/LEGAL/ MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “A US judge said President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen could review materials seized when the FBI raided his home, office and hotel room last week for any communications with the President, but held off on deciding how prosecutors will ultimately be able to use the evidence. In a hearing that lasted over two hours in a courtroom packed with reporters, Judge Kimba Wood declined to immediately grant Cohen’s request to have an independent arbiter — or special master — review the documents and records. But she also did not immediately give prosecutors the go-ahead to have an independent or ‘taint team’ of investigators review the seized material for items that could be covered by attorney-client privilege.”
