Meanwhile, Cohen's own attorneys were due in court, as they tried to prevent the Justice Department from examining Cohen's files that were taken during the raid. Federal prosecutors said they went through with the raid without a subpoena because they believed the material "could have been deleted without record, and without recourse."

US District Judge Kimba Wood appeared to take exception to Cohen's absence in court: "Your inability to answer these questions suggest to me that your client Mr. Cohen should be in court with you next time," she reportedly told Cohen's attorney.

Judge Wood reportedly ordered Cohen to be present for a follow-up hearing on Monday.
