The Special Counsel's Office declined to comment on the NYT report. Michael Cohen's lawyer, per the NYT, says the Special Counsel's Office referred the matter to the US Attorney's Office in Manhattan. The US Attorney's Office in Manhattan (SDNY) also declined to comment.https://twitter.com/csmcdaniel/status/983434457993695232 …

Note: Although people keep referring to Berman, the US Atty in SDNY, as a Trump nominee, he is not. Although backed by the White House, he's not been nominated for the role. Right now, he's a Sessions appointee to the job. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/federal-agents-seize-communications-of-trumps-personal?utm_term=.jprxJaElR#.gcDMk86qK …pic.twitter.com/PqHLRpd3F5

Yes, I wrote about it at the time. I don't think this is just to flip Cohen but it may make that possible.
