Federal investigators have monitored the phone calls of President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, since before the FBI raids on his home and office in early April, NBC News reported Thursday. NBC News initially reported that Cohen's phone lines had been wiretapped — allowing federal agents to hear the content of calls — but reporter Julia Ainsley later clarified that Cohen's calls "are being monitored but not being listened to." Rather than a wiretap, the calls have been subject to a pen register, Ainsley said, which would allow investigators to determine with whom Cohen is communicating but not what's being said. Cohen is expected to be under federal investigation for possible bank fraud, wire fraud, and campaign finance violations.
