NEW: President Trump has asked a federal court in New York to block federal agents from reviewing materials seized in a raid of his private lawyer, Michael Cohen.
The president's other personal attorneys that they, acting on President Trump's behalf, and Cohen should be the ones to determine which materials are privileged.
There's an interesting dynamic here: The president, who supervises DOJ, is asking a federal court to rule that a fairly standard DOJ practice is unfair.
President Trump's lawyers say the only person who can safely ensure that documents seized from Michael Cohen's office do not contain privileged information is "the privilege-holder himself, the President."

President Trump's lawyers argue that DOJ must provide to him copies of any materials seized from Cohen "that relate to him in any way," so that he can determine whether they are privileged and possibly block investigators from reviewing them.
President Trump's lawyers say in a new court filing that the raid his Justice Department carried out against his personal attorney's office and hotel room was "aggressive, intrusive and unorthodox."
