The FBI is investigating President Trump’s longtime attorney, Michael Cohen, for possible campaign finance violations, bank fraud and wire fraud, the Washington Post reports.
Agents raided Cohen’s office, home and hotel room on Monday, seizing emails, tax documents and even records involving communications with his clients. Among the documents seized was information related to porn actress Stormy Daniels, whom Cohen paid $130,000 as part of a non-disclosure agreement to keep quiet about an affair she had with Trump in 2006.
Trump has denied knowledge of Cohen’s payment to Stormy Daniels, and Cohen has maintained that he used a home-equity line of credit to finance the payment.
Trump lashed out at the aggressive tactics Tuesday morning.
“Attorney–client privilege is dead!” Trump tweeted shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Less than a minute later, Trump tweeted: “A TOTAL WITCH HUNT!!!”
Legal experts said it appears the FBI is investigating Cohen for bank and wire fraud.
