Probably a good time to remind people that as SDNY was about to obtain access to the recording Michael Cohen made of Trump ordering a hush payment (which will be used in NYS trial), Trump released it preemptively.
It happened at the equivalent time, too: Trump got access to what had been seized from Cohen by intervening in that Special Master process. And then, voila! the tape got released.

Underscoring potential different sources BHM.
