NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on efforts by President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer to stop criminal prosecutors from reviewing materials seized in raids before they have a chance to review them for potential breach of attorney-client privilege. (all times local):

5:20 p.m.

A judge considering how to handle records seized in an FBI raid on President Donald Trump's personal attorney wrapped up a hearing into the matter Monday without making a final decision.

U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood says she trusts prosecutors to review the materials, but may allow a neutral third party to weigh in as well.

Lawyers for Trump attorney Michael Cohen had asked for the appointment of a so-called special master to review the material and make sure nothing protected by attorney-client privilege winds up in the hands of investigators.

Wood said she would consider the idea.

As a first step, she told prosecutors to put all the seized documents into a searchable database and share it with Cohen's lawyers.

Now Playing:

A New York judge revealed that the Fox News prime time host was one of three clients that President Trump's personal lawyer represented in the past year. The other two clients are the president and GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy. It is still unclear what kind of legal services Cohen provided Hannity.

Media: Cheddar TV

The hearing followed a raid last week on Cohen's home and office.

Now Playing:

The search sought information on a variety of matters, including a $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had sex with Trump in 2006.
