Michael Cohen to be released from federal prison. |
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons informed Cohen that he will be released from the Otisville Federal Time Out. He will be sent home and spend the rest of his term in-house.
As of Thursday, 14 interns and seven staffers at the federal complex tested positive for the coronavirus.
Before he is to be sent to his in-house, he has to be on a two-week quarantine on the federal time out.
Cohen was to sentenced to federal time out for three years. He was scheduled to be released from federal time out in November 2021.
Cohen once said he would "take a bullet for Mr. Trump," was sentenced to three years in federal time out for directing hush payments to adult entertainer and activist Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who claimed they had affairs with Trump.
Trump directed Cohen to conduct his hush payments before the presidential election.
Cohen has become a biter enemy of Trump. Since his lockup, Cohen has told his lawyer Lanny Davis to release crippling audio tapes of Trump giving orders to destroy evidence and cover up affairs.
Cohen and his former rival Michael Avenatti are both convicted felons. Avenatti was then Daniels' former lawyer who helped her through the case. He was convicted of tax fraud, embezzlement and theft of property
Avenatti was sent to in-house earlier this month.
Michael Cohen was then lawyer to Donald J. Trump, Elliott Broidy and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
