The requests have come to light in newly released warrant documents in the federal investigation of President Trump's former personal lawyer.
Investigators asked for court permission to use Michael Cohen's Face ID and fingerprints to access Apple devices belonging to the president's former fixer and personal attorney, newly released warrant documents show.
At the time, Apple CEO Tim Cook argued that if it were required to unlock the suspect's phone, the government"would have the power to reach into anyone's device to capture their data." In a sworn affidavit supporting a warrant application, an FBI agent requested"that the Court authorize law enforcement to press the fingers of Cohen to the Touch ID sensors of the Subject Devices, or hold the Subject Devices in front of Cohen's face, for the purpose of attempting to unlock the Subject Devices via Touch ID or Face ID in order to search the contents as authorized by this warrant.
