BREAKING: A federal judge suggested during a court hearing that prosecutors sent U.S. President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen back to prison as retaliation for planning to publish a book about the president just before the November election

- U.S. President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen was ordered released from prison and will return to home confinement on Friday after a federal judge found he was a target of retaliation for planning to publish a book about the president.He was shackled again on July 9 after he questioned an agreement that barred him from publishing his book, engaging with news organizations and posting on social media.

Judge Alvin Hellerstein said he had never in his 21 years on the bench seen a provision barring a prisoner from speaking to the media."How can I take any other inference but that it was retaliatory?" Cohen has been in solitary confinement in a federal prison in Otisville, New York, about 70 miles northwest of New York City.
