President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen is trying to prevent the government from using materials found in FBI raids of his office and residence. Michael Cohen is seeking a temporary restraining order regarding FBI raids on his home, office, and hotel room that took place earlier this week, a Justice Department spokesman said.

At a hearing in the US District Court in Manhattan, Judge Kimba Wood said Mr Cohen's lawyers had asked on Thursday night to “take the first cut at identifying documents that are relevant or not relevant” to the investigation.

A report commissioned by the outgoing Obama administration in 2016 notes that such sneaky fees in the American hospitality industry extorted more than $2bn (£1.4bn) out of Americans in 2015. Despite only being introduced in the late 1990s such fees have metastasised … [Read more...] about Donald Trump’s Scottish golf course hidden fees highlight how companies are screwing us over all the time
