BuzzFeed News has allegedly obtained Michael Cohen shredded docs:

BuzzFeed News has allegedly obtained the Michael Cohen
documents that were recovered from his shredder and reconstructed by the FBI.




”The clearest page documents a payment that has already been reported: a $62,500 wire transfer from March into a First Republic Bank account controlled by Cohen. This would fit with a series of payments reportedly from the Republican fundraiser, Elliott Broidy. He reportedly paid Cohen to negotiate a nondisclosure agreement with a former Playboy model with whom Broidy was romantically involved. A federal law enforcement source told BuzzFeed News that prosecutors already possessed some of the records dealing with Cohen’s financial transactions.”

The fact that the contents don't seem that exciting make me wonder if they were released by Cohen's team.

At any rate, I just always hope that LOSER45 hears news like this and that he has to go change his undies, like, STAT -

FWIW, Tom Barrack, old tRump pal who guided Manafort towards his campaign chairman gig, is on the board of First Republic Bank, which is where Cohen had/has his Essential Consultants LLC

IIRC, documents haven't even been turned over to SDNY's prosecution team yet. The special master has reviewed most everything, but I'm not sure it's all be released to prosecutors yet.
