A federal judge said on Wednesday that federal investigators have
finished their investigation into campaign finance violations committed
by President Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, over payments made to women alleging affairs with Trump.
Judge
William H. Pauley III wrote in an order issued in the Southern District
of New York that the “government now represents that it has concluded
the aspects of its investigation that justified the continued sealing of
the portions of the materials relating to Cohen’s campaign finance
violations.”
“The
campaign finance violations discussed in the Materials are a matter of
national importance. Now that the Government’s investigation into those
violations has concluded, it is time that every American has an
opportunity to scrutinize the Materials,” he wrote. The filing
signals that federal investigators had wrapped up their probe in
relation to Cohen and other Trump Organization executives' potential
involvement in the payments . . . . .
CNN reported last week that the federal investigation on the alleged
campaign finance violations was coming to an end, and that Trump
Organization executives are unlikely to be charged.
