Once More, With Feeling? Michael Cohen To Be Sprung From Prison Yet Again
Once More, With Feeling? Michael Cohen To Be Sprung From Prison Yet Again

A federal judge has sided with President Donald Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen.

Now, Newser reports Cohen is getting out of prison early—again.

Cohen had been furloughed in May over concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, and was ordered to serve out his sentence at home in Manhattan.

But he was abruptly sent back to prison on July 10 when he refused to sign a gag order barring him from writing a book about Trump.

US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ordered that Cohen be released by 2 pm Friday, and accused the Bureau of Prisons of retaliating against him.
