4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 2018 Trump: Raid on lawyer abuses attorney-client privilege that he might seek the removal of the Justice Department’s special counsel. The raid was overseen by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan and WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal was based in part on a referral from agents have raided the office of Pres- Mueller, said Cohen’s lawyer, Ste- ident Donald Trump’s personal attor- phen Ryan. ney Michael Cohen, seizing records “The decision by the U.S. Attor- on topics that include a $130,000 ney’s Office in New York to con- payment made to porn actress Stormy duct their investigation using search warrants is completely inap- Daniels, who says she had propriate and unnecessary,” sex with Trump.

And the law enforcement action will almost certainly amplify the public scrutiny on the payment to Daniels, who says she had sex with Trump in 2006. The payment was made just days before the 2016 presi- dential election. Trump told reporters last week that he did not know about it. Search warrants are a fairly stan- dard, though aggressive, law enforce- ment tool and are often sought in cases where authorities are concerned someone may hide or withhold evi- dence. To obtain one, agents must convince a judge they have prob- able cause of criminal activity and they believe they’ll find evidence of wrongdoing in a search. A warrant requires high-level approval within the Justice Department, and agency guidelines impose additional hurdles when the search target is an attorney. Authorities working with Muel- ler chose a similar tactic last summer when they raided the home of for- mer Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who was subsequently indicted. In this case, Mueller opted to refer the matter to federal prosecutors in Manhattan. Besides Cohen’s office, agents also searched a hotel room where he’s been staying while his home is under renovation. Under Justice Department regula- tions, Mueller must consult with Dep- uty Attorney General Rod Rosenstein when his investigators uncover new evidence that may fall outside his orig- inal mandate. Rosenstein then will determine whether to allow Mueller to proceed or to assign the matter to another U.S. attorney or another part of the Justice Department. A spokesman for Mueller’s office did not immediately return a call seek- ing comment. White House spokes- woman Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the U.S. attorney’s office also had no comment. Monday’s raid was first Gearhart: City puts individual preparedness at forefront Continued from Page 1A thought to myself, ‘Someone has to worry about this.’ There’s something I can do to help them be aware of what they need to do.” Reaching out to people like McCullough and her neighbors through town halls is part of Gear- hart’s growing effort to bolster what is considered to be the beach town’s No. 1 resource in a tsunami: residents. With less than 1,000 full-time residents, limited staffing and very little land out of the inundation zone, the city’s geography and demogra- phy has brought focusing on individ- ual preparedness to the forefront as the first line of defense for a major disaster. “Like most municipalities, we are underfunded and understaffed to take on the great burden of prepar- ing our community. So we really do need the citizens to take control of preparedness for themselves,” said City Councilor Dan Jesse, an emer- gency preparedness advocate. Gearhart has plenty to do on its own. In 2019, the city is hoping vot- ers support a bond to move an aging fire station out of the inundation zone. Caches of medical supplies have been stashed in a few private residences around town. As of this month, the city secured a $15,000 grant from the state Department of Land Conservation and Develop- ment to be used to evaluate tsunami hazards as well as give guidance on how to craft land use measures to reduce the city’s risk. But many of these projects are just in the beginning stages, making individual preparedness even more critical. “If it happened today, we would have to rely on our neighbors,” Jesse said. Challenges One of the biggest challenges Gearhart faces is unfortunate geography. A study done in 2013 by the Department of Geology and Min- eral Industries revealed the town has Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian Raffle ticket proceeds went to supporting the Community Emergency Response Team. no ground high enough to guarantee safety in the largest of tsunamis. The Neacoxie River, which runs along the west side of U.S. Highway 101, will almost certainly flood, making it impossible for residents to evacu- ate to the east. “If you go to many other cities, they have ground everyone knows is high enough to evacuate to, and we don’t have that,” Jesse said. “So for us it’s about trying to figure out our best approach.” These factors lead to a confus- ing message that is hard to com- municate: When a tsunami hits, run toward the ocean and head north, where the dunes reach the highest elevations in town between 50 and 70 feet. When common wisdom tells people to run for the hills, the job to educate people about how to evac- uate becomes even more important. “It’s definitely counterintuitive,” said City Councilor Paulina Cock- rum, who volunteers with the Com- munity Emergency Response Team.

Almost 60 percent of homes in Gearhart are unoccupied — second homes with owners who may or may not be involved with community efforts. The fact the town’s population trends older can make selling preparedness a chal- lenge, as well. “We have a population that’s on the older side,” Jesse said. “If you’re 50 or older, the chance of the event happening in your lifetime is pretty small. But if you are a 20-year-old or 30-year-old, the chance of this happening in your lifetime is much greater.” Appealing a thousand ways But there is reason to be hopeful. As Cockrum and Jesse spoke about the difficulty of getting people inter- ested in emergency preparedness, every seat filled up on the fire station floor — a turnout noticeably higher than in previous years. While a full house at a town hall is a good start, Cockrum said one of the troubles CERT faces is not hav- ing a clear sense of how prepared residents are after the town hall clears out. “I don’t think we have a good feel for the cultural aspects (of pre- paredness). We have not done the work to find out how prepared all the residents are. What is their knowledge?” she said. “That’s part of what we’re trying to discover with this outreach.” One way Cockrum hopes to do this is by establishing CERT rep- resentatives in each neighbor- hood to lead preparedness efforts in less-than-enthusiastic places like McCullough’s. More than anything, prepared- ness is an exercise in persistence, CERT member Pat Wollen said. “There’s a million reasons not to do something. I’m too young to plan. I’m too old to plan. You have to chip away at the reluctance,” Wollen said. “You have to appeal to them in a thousand different ways to make preparing worthwhile.” Prineville, Boardman, Bend, Warren- ton, Coburg and Sandy had one win- ner apiece. The last winning tickets were sold at a Plaid Pantry at North Going in Portland and at the Sandy Liquor Store. Those winners split the $9 mil- lion grand prize. Northeast Portland resident Tarver Hannant, an amputee profiled months earlier by Willamette Week for a story on the high cost of health care, was one of those two winners. He opted for a one-time cash pay- ment and received about $1.5 million of the $4.5 million after taxes were subtracted. That was the third time in 2017 a Plaid Pantry store in the Portland metro area has sold a Lottery ticket worth $1 million or more, accord- ing to a news release at the time by the Oregon Lottery. The news release stated that a Plaid Pantry in Clacka- mas sold a winning $1 million Raf- fle ticket, and in May, a Portland store near Oregon Health & Science Uni- versity Hospital from the Beaver- ton-based convenience store chain sold a $1 million Powerball ticket. Megabucks drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Sat- urday at 7:29 p.m. The Oregon Lot- tery draws six numbers from a set of 48. Players get two sets of numbers for each $1 they play. Winners have one year to claim their prizes. Megabucks is one of several games the Oregon Lottery has offered since it started in 1985. The lottery has paid out $28 billion in prizes since then. It also is the state’s second larg- est source of revenue after income taxes and has contributed more than $9 billion toward public education, economic development, state parks and watershed projects. The Capital Bureau is a collabo- ration between EO Media Group and Pamplin Media Group. SCHEDULE T UESDAY E VENING L Lottery: What city is luckiest when it comes to Megabucks? Continued from Page 1A THE DAILY ASTORIAN A reported by The New York Times. Ryan did not elaborate on the doc- uments taken from Cohen’s office but said he has cooperated with investi- gators, including meeting last fall with lawmakers looking into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Cohen has more recently attracted attention for his acknowledgment that he paid Daniels $130,000 out of his own pocket shortly before the 2016 presidential election. Cohen has said neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Daniels and he was not reimbursed for the payment. Several former officials at the Fed- eral Election Commission have said the payment appears to be a violation of campaign finance laws, and mul- tiple Washington-based groups have filed complaints with the FEC, urging it to investigate. There have been few signs that Mueller was interested in investigat- ing the payment, though.
