"The FBI raided the office and home and a hotel room of Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer and business associate, on Monday, Matt Apuzzo of the New York Times and Erica Orden and Rebecca Ballhaus of the Wall Street Journal reported.

The raids are a remarkable move against a longtime confidant of the president. Agents reportedly seized records related to Cohen’s $130,000 payment to porn actress/director Stormy Daniels, as well as other matters. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has said she had a sexual encounter with the president in 2006 and was threatened to keep quiet about it during the 2016 campaign.

Little information is known about the raid so far, but while Cohen has been under some scrutiny in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, there are some early signs that these raids are not Russia-related.

Cohen’s lawyer, Stephen Ryan, told the Times that Mueller had made a “referral” on the matter to the US attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York. It was that US attorney’s team, not Mueller’s, that ordered these raids.”*
