They targeted Cohen’s office in Manhattan’s Rockefeller Plaza and a hotel room where he has been staying with his family as their home undergoes renovation. The raid was confirmed by Cohen’s lawyer Stephen Ryan, who said it resulted in the “unnecessary seizure of protected attorney-client communications between a lawyer and his clients”. “The decision by the US Attorney’s Office in New York to conduct their investigation using search warrants is completely inappropriate and unnecessary,” Ryan said in a statement. Trump said the FBI “broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys” and called it “a disgraceful situation … a total witch-hunt … a whole new level of unfairness”. Daniels has sued to be freed from the agreement arguing it was not valid as Trump did not sign it.
