(Bloomberg) -- U.S. prosecutors reconstructed the contents of a shredding machine, producing about 16 pages of documents that were part of the material seized April 9 from President Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen. The information was contained in a letter updating a judge overseeing the review of the seized files and turned over to Cohen’s team.

The government said it also obtained 731 pages of messages, including call logs, from encrypted message applications such as WhatsApp and Signal and about 315 megabytes of data from a Blackberry.
