President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen was just released from prison over coronavirus concerns. He will serve the remainder of his sentence in his Manhattan apartment, according to a law enforcement source.
Cohen, whose expected release was mysteriously delayed more than two weeks ago, will serve out the remaining time on his three-year sentence in his family's apartment in Manhattan.Cohen arrived at his home Thursday morning wearing a black suit jacket, jeans and a mask, without making any comment to waiting reporters."There is so much I want to say and intend to say. But now is not the right time. Soon. Thank you to all my friends and supporters," Cohen wrote.
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trumps former personal attorney, arrives at his Park Avenue apartment on May 21, 2020, in New York City.Since the coronavirus outbreak began, killing 58 federal inmates and infecting more than 2,000 others in the process, the Bureau of Prisons has been releasing some inmates who either have less than half of their sentence remaining and are eligible for home confinement, or who have underlying health conditions that put them at particular risk from Covid-19.
A dozen inmates at Cohen's prison in Otisville, New York, so far have tested positive for the coronavirus. Cohen's lawyer, Roger Adler, had cited Cohen's past two hospitalizations and "pulmonary issues" in his request for early release. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to financial crimes, lying to Congress about plans to build a Trump Tower in Manhattan and campaign finance violations related to hush money payoffs to two women who say they had sex with Trump: porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal.White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany has said that the White House did not directly or indirectly interfere with a decision to delay Cohen's release.
