Federal agents search Cohen's office, hotel room, residence, and devices

Reporting and findings

1. documented

   FBI agents executed warrants at Cohen's residence, hotel room, office, safe-deposit box, and electronic devices. Trump publicly attacked the searches and initially continued paying Cohen's legal fees under a joint-defense arrangement. The enforcement action destabilized their alliance, but the warrants authorized evidence collection and were not themselves a finding of guilt.
