NBC Article: Feds tapped Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's phones
Feds tapped Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's phones
At least one phone call between a phone line associated with Cohen and the White House was intercepted, a source said.
Federal investigators have wiretapped the phone lines of Michael Cohen, the longtime personal lawyer for President Donald Trump who is under investigation for a payment he made to an adult film star who alleged she had an affair with Trump, according to two people with knowledge of the legal proceedings involving Cohen.
It is not clear how long the wiretap has been authorized, but NBC News has learned it was in place in the weeks leading up to the raids on Cohen's offices, hotel room, and home in early April, according to one person with direct knowledge.
At least one phone call between a phone line associated with Cohen and the White House was intercepted, the person said.
Previously, federal prosecutors in New York have said in court filings that they have conducted covert searches on multiple e-mail accounts maintained by Cohen.

At the time of the raid, it was pointed out that the warrant/raid route was more aggressive than the more common subpoena route, and to get the warrant prosecutors had to convince the judge that there was reason to believe the subpoena would not be complied with and/or that the evidence was at risk of being destroyed.
Can you imagine if they've got Trump and Cohen on tape discussing criminal actions?
