A federal judge issues his ruling on Jeffrey Epstein’s bail application in court at 11:30 a.m. EDT.

Michael Cohen’s search warrant materials related to a closed campaign-finance probe to be unsealed at 11 a.m.

Berman cites danger to others and to the community.

"I doubt that any bail package can overcome danger to the community."
