Prosecutors: Cohen raid is red flag for Trump
BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 04/14/18 01:53 PM EDT
Former U.S. attorneys say the FBI's raid on Michael Cohen's office is a red flag for President Trump and suggests that Robert Mueller has compiled significant evidence of criminal activity by the president’s longtime personal lawyer.
These legal experts say the raid was significant because of high-profile nature of the case and the likely scope of the search warrant that authorized it.
The breadth of the search indicates prosecutors suspected Cohen possessed a trove of evidence pointing to illegal activity that he would not have turned over to law enforcement voluntarily. But, former prosecutors note, the raid doesn’t necessarily implicate Trump in criminal wrongdoing.
Instead, it may be an attempt to turn Cohen, a close confidant intimately familiar with the dealings of the Trump Organization, against the president as a key witness.
