According to CNN, here are 5 questions that Cohen will have to answer in relation to all of this..

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/09/politics/michael-cohen-raid/index.html


1. Why did you pay Daniels $130,000 if you believed Trump hadn't engaged in an affair with her?

Cohen has been adamant that he didn't think there was any "there" there in terms of Daniels' allegations, but has said he made the payout "defensively" on behalf of his client. So why didn't Cohen make similar payments to the dozen (or more) other women making allegations about Trump's conduct with them over the years? Or did he?


2. Why did you use your personal money to pay off Daniels?


3. Why did Cohen set up an LLC in Delaware to make the payment?

Cohen established Essential Consultants LLC in Delaware -- a state widely known for its lack of corporate transparency -- 10 days before he made the payment to Daniels. Why? The obvious answer is to make the payoff as untraceable as possible. But if Cohen believed there was nothing to Daniels' allegations, why go out of your way to hide the payout?


4. Why did Cohen file for a restraining order against Daniels?

5. Why was Trump Inc. employee Jill Martin involved in that lawsuit being filed?
