During the recent court proceedings, Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger questioned Michael Cohen about his cell phones that were seized in 2018. Cohen admitted that he may have turned them back on when they were returned to him, as he wanted to check if they still worked. This revelation came to light as Cohen explained that he had obtained a new phone after the raid, so any activation of the seized phones was merely to test their functionality.
Furthermore, Cohen mentioned that he utilized one of the older cell phones confiscated by the FBI to record a conversation with the bureau of prisons. This detail adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing legal saga surrounding Cohen's past actions and interactions.
