President Trump’s righthand man, Michael Cohen, has been under grand jury investigation for months for alleged “criminal conduct” related to his business dealings, court filings unsealed Friday revealed. Federal agents have obtained cover search warrants for multiple email accounts used by Cohen, and their probe burst into public view earlier in the week when they seized documents from his home, office and hotel room.

Their search related not just to the hush-money payments Cohen made to women who claim to have had sexual encounters with Trump, but also to personal dealings including a taxi business with which he was involved.

At a Friday federal court hearing, Cohen’s lawyers argued that much of the information seized was protected by attorney-client privilege and that they should get the first crack at reviewing it. Judge Kimba Wood gave the team until Monday to provide more evidence that this is the case and ordered Cohen himself to show up in court.

The New York Times also revealed Tuesday that special counsel Mueller is probing a $150,000 donation to the Trump campaign that Cohen solicited from a Ukrainian steel mogul in September 2015.

Amid this explosive environment, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the special counsel’s Russia investigation and personally approved the raid on Cohen, is warning associates that he may soon be fired.

Also Friday, the Justice Department Inspector General released its report on ousted FBI official Andrew McCabe, determining that McCabe lacked candor in his discussions with the media about the DOJ investigations into Hillary Clinton. A worked-up Trump seized on the report, saying McCabe “LIED! LIED! LIED!” The President also compared McCabe to James Comey, the FBI director he fired and who is releasing a book on Tuesday that likens Trump to a corrupt mob boss.

On Capitol Hill, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sailed through a joint hearing on his company’s facilitation of the spread of “fake news” during the 2016 campaign, faced by senators unversed in how the social media platform operates. Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook is cooperating with Mueller’s investigation.

At his nomination hearing on Tuesday, CIA Director and Secretary of State designate Mike Pompeo would not discuss whether Trump had asked him to urge Comey to put a stop to the Russia probe.

A search warrant released over the weekend suggests that, even before Mueller was appointed, investigators were already homing in on Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort’s previous work in Ukraine. Manafort’s lawyers on Tuesday asked the judge overseeing the case against him in Washington, D.C., to suppress evidence seized from his home, arguing that the search was overly broad.

And Ezra Cohen-Watnick, ousted from the National Security Council last summer, is rejoining the DOJ as national security advisor to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Reportedly, he’s doing so on the personal order of the President.

These events unfolded amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Bashar al-Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria, with Russia warning it would shoot down U.S. missiles should Trump choose to intervene.
