This is a pretty good summary of events (Vanity Fair was one of the first to break the story): https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/04/fbi-raids-michael-cohen-new-york-hotel
I believe they searched his home, his office and his hotel room (Regeny on the Upper East Side - happens to be less than 2 miles from my daughter’s apartment). He said he has been staying in the hotel because of a burst pipe at home. I don’t think they searched any office in Trump Tower - Cohen’s office was in Rockefeller Center. The fire in Trump Tower (I was able to take a photograph of myself giving Trump the finger in front of that building over the Christmas holiday) was in one of the residential apartments - looks like it started in the apartment of the guy who died. No sprinklers, but that is another story...
