Spokesman Jordan Prince said in an email late Thursday that a hearing is set for Friday morning. He did not disclose the reason for the court proceeding.
Federal agents raided Cohen’s Manhattan office on Monday, seizing records on topics including a $130,000 payment made to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
Trump, who in the last month has escalated his attacks on Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, said it was a “disgrace” that the FBI “broke into” his lawyer’s office. He called Mueller’s investigation “an attack on our country.”
