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.

Here’s the problem that most people aren’t ackmowledging. There are many exceptions arty client priv. It’s not a blanket under all conditions exception.
I believe it went through Rosenstein.
Of course it is..its always been about getting rid of Trump..the left despises the fact that Donald Trump resides in the White House..they wanted Hillary Clinton, actually they wanted Bernie Sanders but that is a whole other matter. They wanted to turn America Communist, they got very close but failed..and now they want a do over..if the Dems take back the House/Senate in November..Trump will be impeached
When do we take our kill shot?
Is this another FISA Court authorization? Rudy Giuilani needs to saddle up on this.
Most likely, but Sessions is/was the AG & I suspect he had to have been notified.
Worse, no one except us seems to care.
Does illegal search and seizure exist anymore?
Since when did the FBI get the power to be above the law?
I do think that’s their main motivation....however...there’s another motive, keep the attention off the Clintons, and the Clinton fund, or Lois Lerner, or any other of a half dozen scandals that have never been resolved
USSA bump for later....
Still possible. Remove their security clearances. No security clearances, their hands are tied. Trump has this power.
Jaaa, we now have our own Amerikaner Stazi .. CEO — Herr Mueller and his gang of leftist lawyer cohorts in crime.
“Cohen isn’t a Russian agent.”
Which means they presented evidence to a judge of some probable cause of a crime.
Whether fabricated or not.
Exactly, not their first rodeo. The news media thinks they are idiots, discussing hundreds of illegal plans and discussing crimes and crimes they would like to commit...sheesh
This is how they (FBI) were going to trap Trump, in any upcoming interview.
A disagreement between any witnesses can be used for the FBI to pick a side and knock down which ever of the two they wish to slap with a perjury wrap.
These FBI “interviews” going on against a target that are set up with no transcript, no video or audio, or no advocate is bad news for the little guy and lets the big guy skate.
UNLESS, HE IS REPUBLICAN.
And if information about the alleged evidence ever comes out, it will take at least a year, with the DOJ digging in.
I’m sure they’re tapping all Trump’s relatives, friends and associates. Probably have been since the election
Rod Rosenstein...
Or HILLIARY?...................
Stasi, KGB and Gestapo all rolled into one...............
