Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesFederal prosecutors in New York are investigating unspecified criminal activity by President Trump, according to Cohen. The Manhattan US Attorney’s office, which prosecuted Cohen, is examining both a conversation between Trump and Cohen that took place two months after the FBI searched Cohen’s properties in April 2018, according to Cohen, as well as other wrongdoing or illegal behavior by Trump. "I’ve been asked by them not to discuss and not to talk about these issues,” Cohen told the House Oversight committee regarding the Manhattan US Attorney’s office when asked about the June 2018 talk he had with Trump, adding that the office was probing that matter. It’s not clear whether the investigative activity Cohen disclosed during his testimony is related to either of those probes. A spokesperson for the US Attorney’s office declined to comment.
