Answer 1

The FBI raided Trump's long-term lawyer Michael D.Cohen's office on 9th April. The FBI seized the lawyer's business records, emails and documents related to several topics, including a payment to a pornographic film actress.The FBI had an arrest warrant against Michael D.Cohen, and the warrant dates back to years ago. Mr. Cohen’s lawyer, Stephen Ryan, confirmed the raids. The F.B.I. also seized emails, tax documents and business records, the person said.

President Trump addresses this situation as a "disgraceful situation", and an “attack on our country in a true sense.”

“That is really now on a whole new level of unfairness,” Mr. Trump said.

Question for the class:

Do you think Trump is right in taking side of his ex-lawyer? Should any allegations be enforced on the FBI without first checking if Michael D.Cohen's is guilty or not?
