A federal judge ordered that redacted copies of the search warrant documents during the attack on the home and offices of Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, by the FBI be made public last spring .

The documents will be filed Tuesday, according to a brief order by Judge William Pauley III of the US District Court.

The telephone numbers, the apartment number and the Cohen safe number are included in the approved redactions.

The materials were obtained as part of a raid by the FBI last April in Cohen, New York, and in a safe.

Cohen pleaded guilty in August to tax and bank fraud and a violation of the campaign finance law by arranging for pay to silence women alleging cases with President Trump. In November, he pleaded guilty to lying to Congress over efforts to open a Trump tower in Moscow.

Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison and his sentence should begin in May.
