Ex-Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Back In Federal Prison

President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, was returned to federal prison Thursday, after balking at certain conditions of the home confinement he was granted because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The purpose is to avoid glamorizing or bringing publicity to your status as a sentenced inmate serving a custodial term in the community,” the document says. A Justice Department official pushed back on that characterization and said Cohen had refused to accept the terms of home confinement, specifically that he submit to wearing an ankle monitor. The official could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

Cohen was being held late Thursday at the Metropolitan Correction Center in Manhattan, Levine said. His legal team, meanwhile, was preparing an emergency appeal to spring him from custody. Roger Adler, one of Cohen's attorneys, told the AP that the FBI had agreed to return to Cohen two smartphones it seized as part of its investigation, adding Cohen had planned to pick them up Thursday after an appointment at the federal courthouse in Manhattan concerning his home confinement.

“It’s not a crime to eat out and support local businesses,” Adler said, adding Cohen had been “thrown back into a petri dish of coronavirus.”

Maybe he felt safer in jail

haha

Any thoughts about this realDonaldTrump?

Can’t go back to prison for Corona 19 issues, but can eat out in public without a mask!!!

Also, he ate out at a restaurant because he knew he was going to get put back in prison. And he had no mask. That’s where we stand. Biden2020

Love how coronavirus is a “hoax” for rich Republicans until they are sentenced to jail or prison and then they demand & beg for home confinement to stay safe from it. Hypocrisy & the GOP

Hope it was worth it...moron 😂

They can’t even get away with a crime right. 🤦🏻‍♂️
