A federal judge ruled Friday that any challenges made by lawyers representing Michael Cohen, President Trump's longtime attorney, to a special master's decision to declare most of the materials seized by FBI agents during raids of his home and office must be filed publicly.
In a brief decision Friday afternoon, U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood denied requests from Trump and Cohen's attorneys on Thursday to allow them to make such challenges to the unprivileged designation of most of the 292,409 items seized from Cohen's personal belongings under seal.

The judge's decision followed a request from eight news organizations and a press advocacy group to keep the filings public, according to Courthouse News.
