Source: The Hilll
Prosecutors now have more than 2 million pieces of evidence seized from President Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen after a judge released 883,634 more items on Friday.
Special master Barbara Jones, who was appointed by a federal judge in April to examine the documents, noted that the items "were not designated privileged, partially privileged or highly personal," the New York Daily News reported Saturday. Her investigation is ongoing, she said.
Jones was appointed to probe the documents seized by the FBI when they raided Cohen’s home, office and hotel room earlier this year to determine whether the items are protected under attorney-client privilege or are highly personal.
Jones had already released 1,310,365 items to federal prosecutors earlier this month, the outlet noted.
