The Treasury Department's inspector general is reviewing whether banking information tied to a company run by President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was leaked. Richard Delmar, counsel for the inspector general, said Wednesday that an inquiry was opened because of allegations that financial records of a shell company used by Cohen, Essential Consultants, were "improperly disseminated." The White House has repeatedly denied that Trump and Daniels had an affair. Prosecutors have not accused Cohen of wrongdoing in regard to the payments or any other business dealings. In court documents, the prosecutors said at least part of their inquiry stemmed from a referral from Mueller's office.
