FILE - In this March 6, 2019 photo, Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer departs the Capitol in Washington. Cohen is serving a three-year prison sentence after admitting paying off two women who claimed they had affairs with Trump. Five search warrant applications, from the early stages of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation in 2017, were made public in response to requests from The Associated Press and other media organizations. Cohen, once President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and confidant, was not charged by Mueller or prosecutors in New York with anything related to Russian collusion or illegal influence peddling. But the documents shed further light on how Cohen capitalized financially on his closeness to Trump immediately after the 2016 election.
