President Donald Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen has been under criminal investigation for months, largely centering around his business dealings, federal prosecutors in New York said in court documents obtained by ABC News.
Today, prosecutors acknowledged publicly for the first time Friday that they seized records this week from Cohen.
The revelation came as Cohen and Trump sought a court order barring federal prosecutors from accessing the records they took during raids on his home and office Monday morning.
Lawyers for Cohen and Trump, neither of whom was present in court, argue that at least some of the records are subject to attorney-client privilege and should not be viewed by prosecutors until they, or an independent third party appointed by the court, have a chance to review the material.
Cohen "applied [Thursday] evening for an opportunity to take the first cut" at determining whether the documents are privileged or relevant to the investigation, Judge Kimba Wood said. "Both parties recognize the search of an attorney's devices and offices are subject to special consideration."

I don’t trust any of the investigators or anything they have to say, or anything any news reports on this matter.
The investigators are the criminals, and they all need to be in prison.
And yet Mueller is the one who referred this to the NY FBI for a warrant and the raids. Not making a lot of sense.
Judge Kimba Wood
The Judge’s name is very familiar. A name from the past.
Thanks. I see she was one of Clinton’s unsuccessful nominees for Attorney General. That’s where I had heard of her.
Bill Clinton tried to make her attorney general but she had her nomination pulled when it was found out she hired an illegal immigrant to be her nanny. My God, why is HELL hasn’t this woman already recused herself or been forced off the case for clear bias? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimba_Wood
“And yet Mueller is the one who referred this to the NY FBI for a warrant and the raids. Not making a lot of sense.”
If the raid resulted from illegally obtained FISA warrants, perhaps all the material seized is fruit from the poisoned tree. (Poisoned tree is illegally obtained information. Fruit from the tree is material obtained from illegally obtained evidence.)
While in London, she spent five days training as a Playboy bunny.

Kimba Wood, Playboy Bunny. Her marriage, the first one, made her name Kimba Wood Lovejoy. Sounds like a porno name.
Kimba wood is a Clinton appointee.
I don’t have a law degree- but how stupid for Cohen to be involved with the RNC and while being Trump’s attorney. Also Trump should have hired another attorney other Cohen when he decided to run for President.
Now with this raid, they have all the records from Trump’s business and him being Pres elect and then President. Then they now have RNC records- with the leak now of a million dollar payoff to some play boy bunny.
Never never put all your legal stuff in one basket.
They hit a gold mine!!!!
She’s on her third marriage.
The Clintons are involved in everything. We are all just here for their amusement since nothing ever happens to them.
I remember her name from the Clinton era.
The democrats are coming up with this now to hide from the backlash they created with this fbi raid. They now want people to think that that was the reason for the raid. Not hardly!
“She’s on her third marriage.”
That’s pretty much always the mark of a horrid person.
Hey, I have a great idea! Why don’t “they” start investigating Democrats?
So has his pilot, chef, maid and dentist.
An 0bama crony, Kimba...
