A federal judge ruled on Thursday that a court-appointed independent official called a special master should be the first to examine documents seized by FBI agents from U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. Prosecutors said they have been investigating the lawyer for months, largely over his business dealings rather than his legal work. Stephen Ryan, a lawyer for Cohen, called Jones "a wonderful choice" to be special master.

Trump, who has denied having an affair with Daniels, said Cohen did nothing wrong in representing him in the Daniels case.
