The special master tasked with reviewing materials in Michael Cohen's court case on Tuesday released hundreds more documents to the prosecution.
Special Master Barbara Jones said in a court filing Tuesday that 595 of 1,262 items examined in her latest review are protected by attorney-client privilege. Two were deemed "highly personal," while the remaining 665 documents are "not privileged," Jones said.
Lawyers for Cohen objected to two items being considered "not privileged," Jones said in her filing. However, they do not intend to raise those objections in court.
As a result, the 665 documents will be released to the prosecution in the case.

In early June, Jones determined that only 162 documents out of an initial roughly 300,000 were considered privileged or partially privileged.
Cohen's legal team has argued that more than 12,000 documents seized during the April FBI raid should be protected by attorney-client privilege.
Earlier this month, Jones said that 2,633 of the next 4,085 she reviewed were, in fact, privileged.

Jones said in a separate filing on Monday that the government seized a dozen audio tapes during the raids. The contents of the tapes are unclear, but they have since been turned over to the prosecution.
