      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

          @chrislhayes ok. I’m following your chronology now. Business Insider should probably correct that story.

          Yeah, there was definitely confusion on Jan. 3 about what was going on — but weird to see a story still up saying that.

          The W.D. La. attorney was replaced by a Senate-confirmed appointee. The Hawaii and W.D. Mo. attorneys are up for Senate Judiciary Committee votes on Thursday. Nick Hanna has also been formally nominated.

          Which means May 3rd will be Berman's last day..? Regardless of his political beliefs he followed the law and that's a good thing. Good 4 him
