Judge: Feds can post info on FBI raid of Trump's ex-lawyer

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge directed prosecutors Monday to publicly release documents related to the search warrant for last year's FBI raids on the home and office of President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen.


U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III ordered that redacted versions of the documents be released Tuesday.


Media organizations had requested access to the records.


Pauley sentenced Cohen to three years in prison in December for crimes including lying to Congress and paying two women to stay silent about affairs they claimed to have had with Trump.


Cohen, scheduled to report to prison in May, recently testified before Congress in open and closed hearings about his dealings with Trump over the past decade.
