Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) questioned why the FBI raided the office of President Trump’s attorney on Monday, saying that the action was a “great overstep” in Robert Mueller’s original Russia investigation.

Michael Cohen’s home and hotel room were also searched. The action was based in part on a referral from the special counsel, according to Cohen’s lawyer.
