at more senior roles by requiring at least two diverse qualified candidates are interviewed for every open position. we are getting a closer look at what led up to the fbi s raid of the home and office of michael cohen. stay with us for that.
moscow. he s been involved with the trump properties that they have built in the u.s. so cohen has a long personal history with trump. of course, he s the self-described fixer. we are starting to learn that the special counsel s office began looking at cohen almost immediately out of the gate. we were looking for information, his e-mails, warrants for e-mails going back to at least the summer of 2015. then it was after several months of that now in february of 2018 they make the referral to the u.s. attorney s office in manhattan. that office issues and requests their own search warrant that the judge grants for additional devices that cohen has and for the properties where a lot of materials they are interested in would be located. that s for the bank fraud violation and campaign finance violations. before you go, we just got another nugget i would like for you to explain to people. on page 24 of exhibit 1 it shows michael cohen was paid over
status report in mid may about the status of the ongoing investigations. that s a potential deadline where we might learn that the investigations are still going or if they have been completed. we may learn more information here. what s also interesting in just scrolling through the filings and from our colleagues doing the same is that the special counsel s office had executed three warrants on cohen s e-mails and one on an icloud account going back to the campaign finance period in 2016 when payments to women were made. they referred that to the u.s. attorney s office in manhattan in february of 2018. then the u.s. attorney s office here acted swiftly and raided cohen s hotel room office, safety deposit box by early april. that s one of the new details that we have learned. we also learned that they had what s called a pen register
ongoing investigations. as part of his cooperation, he has to cooperate with any federal or state investigation, and we do know that the u.s. attorney s office in manhattan is investigating the inaugural fund. think of gates role. he was on the campaign, was around during the transition and was a key senior member of the inaugural committee. so, for me, that s where i think everything is. they can t say that they re done with rick gates until he s done cooperating in every investigation. so mueller s the front guy. i don t mean it that way to me, that s how i read it. there s other stuff we don t want to talk about publicly, so mueller says judge, i need more time. right. because if you notice the two names on that form you have there, on that filing you have there, one of them is andrew weissmann. he s leaving. he s leaving the special counsel s office. they can t reveal who rick gates is working with, because they don t want to tell us what other office is handling this
