President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney was released from prison Friday after a judge determined he was being confined as retaliation for writing a book depicting the president as a racist. Michael Cohen was released after U. S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said Thursday that Cohen was sent back to prison for refusing to sign a form preventing him from publishing a book or talking to the media, the Associated Press reported Friday. Hellerstein cited comments from probation authorities as the basis for her judgement. Cohen’s First Amendment rights were violated when he was ordered back to jail on July 9, Hellerstein ruled.
