NEW YORK (WABC) -- A federal judge rejected a request from President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer Michael Cohen for a temporary restraining order that would have kept federal prosecutors from reading files seized in raids last week.
Judge Kimba Wood said a government taint team can weed out privileged documents, but she left open the possibility an independent third party could play a role at a later time, in the interest of "the perception of fairness."
"I have faith in the Southern District prosecutors, that their integrity is unimpeachable," Wood said.
Her ruling came at the end of a hearing attended by Cohen and Stormy Daniels, who sat feet apart but did not appear to interact.
Daniels was swarmed by photographers and nearly fell as she was hustled into a federal courthouse. Wearing a lilac suit and high heels, Daniels was the main attraction - for the media anyway - at the court hearing before a federal judge made her ruling.

Federal Judge Who Rejected Trump’s Request For a Restraining Order Over Materials Seized in FBI Raid Officiated George Soros’ Wedding,
Soros and Bolton, a health care consultant, will exchange vows in a small ceremony on Saturday morning at the Bedford, New York estate, which Soros bought in 2003 from “Jurassic Park” author Michael Crichton.
Kimba Wood, a federal judge, will perform the non-denominational ceremony, which will be attended by members of the couple’s families, including his five children, a source familiar with the arrangements told Reuters.
Time for a Pelican Brief redux.
Oh, now, recusal is NOT only for Republicans! It is only for CONSERVATIVE Republicans. After all, James Comey AND Robert Mueller are Republicans! (Don’t wet yourselves, or spray your drink on your keyboard.)
Ronald Reagan.
I stand corrected, LOL!
Good old Mueller, the Republican’s Republican! I guess that’s why Gowdy can’t say enough nice things about him. Good Republicans all.
Sickening. The American legal system is dead if this is not reversed on appeal.
WHAT IF, they scooped up a copy of Weiner’s harddrive...
It’s time like these, that I wish we had more than 2 years between House elections. It takes longer than that to completely overhaul a political party. But boy, does the republican party need it!
Guns are the answer not votes.
US is no longer a nation of laws.
The only way to restore it is through armed revolution.
Agreed. Waco remains a stain on the fabric of this nation. Reno "took full responsibility" - which meant absolutely nothing. And the Media cheered her for being "brave."
Yes they really do, but it is impossible to bring about change when those in office refuse to admit there is a problem.
We see it bright and clear, but they can’t.
Another pig fascist judge that needs to be impeached for treason, found guilty and hanged.
This is turning a Kafkaesque nightmare.

I hope they are submitting the appeal in the morning, this is ridiculous.
yeah, he was forced to by the Judge which is probably appealable by itself.
You both make good points.
It would have been more accurate if I had said Hannity would never have been linked to Cohen without the shocking, radical, and possibly illegal seizure of all Cohen's files.

I'm sorry, but the word "integrity" should never be used in relation to government agencies. Of course, they can't admit the truth of that.
