Documents related to the April 9 FBI search of Michael Cohen’s home, office and hotel room can be made public, with some redactions to protect ongoing investigations, a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Judge William Pauley ruled Thursday on a request from media organizations seeking access to the documents. He gave the government until Feb. 28 to file the materials under seal, with the proposed redactions for him to review. The judge said he’d then order the documents to be made public.

"The public interest in the underlying subject matter of the materials -- which implicates the integrity of the 2016 presidential election -- is substantial," Pauley said.


Disclosing the materials with certain portions redacted strikes the appropriate balance between public access and prosecutors’ desire for confidentiality to protect its ongoing investigations, Pauley said. The judge said the applications and affidavits for the search warrants "catalogue an assortment of uncharged individuals and detail their involvement in communications and transactions connected to the campaign finance charges to which Cohen pled guilty."

Keep in mind that the Feds recovered millions of documents during last year's raid of Cohen's home and office. This is a small part of it, but it concerns the Trump Tower Moscow project that he's being questioned about by the House committee.
