Trump Fires on FBI

Washington, April 10: The FBI raided the Rockefeller Center office and Park Avenue hotel room of President Trump's longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, on Monday morning, seizing business records, emails, and documents related to several topics, including a payment to a pornographic film actress.

In this regard, US President Donald Trump says the FBI's raid on the offices of his personal lawyer was a "disgrace" and an "attack on our country".

"I have this witch hunt constantly going on," he told to reporters.

Officials in New York seized "privileged communications" between Michael Cohen and his clients, his lawyer said after the raid on Monday.

Mr. Trump, in an extraordinarily angry response, lashed out hours later at what a person briefed on the matter said was an investigation into possible bank fraud by Mr. Cohen.

Mr. Trump accused his own Justice Department of perpetrating a "witch hunt" and asserted that the F.B.I. "broke in to" Mr. Cohen's office.
