Federal investigators reportedly wiretapped the phones of longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, who notoriously made a $130,000 payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her silent about an alleged affair with the president.

The wiretap was put in place prior to the raids on Cohen's offices, hotel room and home in early April, NBC News reports, and at least one phone call made to the White House was intercepted.

President Donald Trump has made an effort to distance himself from Cohen since April's raid.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
