In particular, Mueller sought records of any “funds of benefits received by or offered� to Cohen “on behalf of, any foreign government,� as well as evidence of efforts “to conduct activities on behalf of, for the benefit of, or at the direction of any foreign government.� In February 2018, Mueller’s office began referring parts of its Cohen investigation to federal prosecutors in New York, including relevant emails from its warrants. Investigators used the search warrants as the basis for an April 2018 raid of Cohen’s office, home, safety deposit box and a hotel room where he had been staying. Cohen ultimately pleaded guilty to tax fraud, bank fraud, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress. Mueller was was appointed special counsel in May 2017.
