The F.B.I. on Monday raided the office of President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, seizing records related to several topics including payments to a pornographic-film actress.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan obtained the search warrant after receiving a referral from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, according to Mr. Cohen’s lawyer, who called the search “completely inappropriate and unnecessary.” The search does not appear to be directly related to Mr. Mueller’s investigation, but likely resulted from information he had uncovered and gave to prosecutors in New York.
“Today the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York executed a series of search warrants and seized the privileged communications between my client, Michael Cohen, and his clients,” said Stephen Ryan, his lawyer. “I have been advised by federal prosecutors that the New York action is, in part, a referral by the Office of Special Counsel, Robert Mueller.”
Well, this was unexpected.
Looks like Mueller was involved in some way.
Will update as more news becomes available.

He should thank Trump, who threw him under the bus last week by claiming to know nothing of the $130k payment Cohen made (using his HELOC).
Stupid is as stupid does. Cohen could be disbarred if Trump doesn't come clean. And if he is prosecuted--no pardons from Trump for NY state. Couldn't happen to a sleazier lawyer.
It doesn't directly which is why NY is handling it. It relates to criminal activity that was uncovered during the investigation and passed to state authorities for action as needed.

Political with hunt. Special Prosecutor working in secret to find a crime, in order to stage a soft coup d'etat of our Democratically elected President. Got it.
I think it just reeks of people breaking the law and getting caught.
