Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen released from prison into home confinement due to coronavirus concern

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.

It's who you know.

Another great actor!👏👏👏

Just fair since everyone of Trump friends are already out and about, why not COHEN as well? Just fair! Now back on duties starting next Monday. You got It! 😷👍☕🍩⏰🗂📻🖲📺🖨📡 All Toys and Bells included! Congratulations to DOJ this time in allowing him a life saving break!

Did this guy just walk into the Trump Tower?

Home is where the ankle bracelet is !

Michael Cohen will be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence from home confinement. So apparently he got the same sentence everybody else did.

He better keep his mouth shut or Trumps Gestapo led by Bill Barr will put him in a work camp.

Former Trump 'fixer' Michael Cohen to be released from federal prison ThursdayThe president's onetime personal lawyer will serve the remainder of his three'year sentence at home. Lol What makes Michael Cohen so special that he is released from prison because of the coronavirus, when every other inmate is still doing their time. He shouldn't be getting special treatment. This is bulls**t. Once again it's a them & us world. What makes Michael Cohen so special among other prisoners that makes him a favorite prisoner to be released from prison amidst coronavirus fears while there are so many non-violent prisoners, unless this is abuse of power by the one who holds the highest position in the land.
