Federal investigators have wiretapped the phone lines of Michael Cohen, the longtime personal lawyer for President Donald Trump who is under investigation for a payment he made to an adult film star who alleged she had an affair with Trump, according to two people with knowledge of the legal proceedings involving Cohen.
It is not clear how long the wiretap has been authorized, but NBC News has learned it was in place in the weeks leading up to the raids on Cohen's offices, hotel room, and home in early April, according to one person with direct knowledge.
At least one phone call between a phone line associated with Cohen and the White House was intercepted, the person said.
Previously, federal prosecutors in New York have said in court filings that they have conducted covert searches on multiple e-mail accounts maintained by Cohen.

Thank you for your very reasonable thoughts. I pray you are correct.
Hmmmm? I missed it. What was it?
Trump's appointee recused himself.
Rosenstein is Trump's fault and his worst appointment, IMHO. Trump must have been quite naive in his vetting when he chose Rosenstein.
IMO, this is the last coffin nail in the Rule of Law, waiting for the hammer.
This doesn’t need to be ended...This needs to be CORRECTED. Reversed.
NBC changed their headline around 6-PM, saying they misinterpreted the type of listening device. This device only notes that “calls were made”.
Sessions continues to waste Oxygen... he may need to be reported to Tree Huggers for expelling C02 while sleeping.
To quote Drew Barrymore in “E.T.”, you lie, “penis breath”.
We elected Trump. That was our shot. I am not optimistic anymore.
My comment above was addressed to NBC, not any Freeper.
They were absolutely meaningless because no judge would allow them to proceed, the same deep state that is attacking Trump, protected Obama.
There have been judges who supported Trump. Ultimately, the Surpremes have. They would be the ultimate deep state.
You’re correct. I forgot about the recusal. Did he recuse for the same reason Sessions did? If so, then that would be a reflection on the appointment.

Well, guess that settles THAT then /s
Distinction w/o difference.
Keep praying. But I felt it with the Force. The tide is turning and a hammer blow is not far off.
Today a federal judge pointedly suggested Mueller team was lying in the Manafort case, wants to leverage him against POTUS and could care less about decades-old money laundering.
He also demanded to see the Rod Rosenstein authorization unedited to Mueller.
It’s underway. Pray to our Lord for his protection of our Republic, President Trump and all patriots with him.
His power is evident among us. God Bless.
