Federal prosecutors in Manhattan got a SEARCH WARRANT based on a referral from Mueller, according to Cohen’s lawyer. The search does NOT appear to be directly related to Mueller’s probe, but likely resulted from information Mueller uncovered👉🏼gave to prosecutors in NY. 2/
Cohen plays a role in MANY aspects of Mueller's #TrumpRussia🇷🇺investigation, plus he also allegedly paid $130k to Stormy Daniels.

Mueller likely gave SIGINT and/or bank records to the Manhattan federal prosecutors that provide evidence of alleged CRIMES committed by Cohen and/or Trump‼️

We *know* that Trump already is a SUBJECT of a federal GJ. The fact that the FBI just seized Cohen's emails, tax records & business documents, plus communications w/Trump is a VERY bad sign for BOTH of them‼️😎

PS1/ Mueller brought info involving Cohen to Rosenstein, who decided that the matter should be handled by the *federal* US attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), rather than by Mueller.🤨
This may involve Stormy and/or FINANCIAL crimes.😎
