From The Washington Post:
BREAKING: Trump attorney Cohen is being investigated for possible bank fraud, campaign finance violations, according to a person familiar with the case.
This story will be updated.
FBI agents on Monday raided the Manhattan office of President Trump’s private lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, seizing records about Cohen’s clients, including those related to a 2016 payment he made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had a sexual encounter with Trump.
Among the documents seized were privileged communications between Cohen and his clients — including those with Trump, according to a person familiar with the investigators’ work. Investigators took Cohen’s computer, phone and personal financial records as part of the search of his office at Rockefeller Center, the person said.

I don’t see the wire fraud element in the article, but MSNBC broke the news on TV, and included it, even on their chyron.
I don’t have much to add, except I’m doing a happy dance over here.
Update from Dartagnan in the comments:
Under RICO (loosely speaking) wire fraud can consist basically of two independent “predicate acts” of using the “wires,” i.e the phone lines in furtherance of the fraud or conspiracy.
