A Manhattan federal judge ordered his release, finding that the government’s decision to return Cohen to jail from home confinement was retaliatory.
Michael Cohen, the president’s former personal attorney, has been released from prison again, according to his attorney, Danya Perry. « I just spoke with my client as he left FCI Otisville, » Perry told CBS News in a statement. « He is extremely gratified that the court upheld his fundamental constitutional right to speak freely and publicly, and he looks forward to doing exactly that. » A Manhattan federal judge ordered that Cohen be released by Friday afternoon after he had been sent back to a New York prison for resisting the terms of home confinement.
