Michael Cohen released from prison again after ACLU files legal challenge

Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, 53, went to prison in May 2019, convicted of crimes including tax evasion, lying to Congress and facilitating illegal payments to silence the adult film actor Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model, both of whom claimed affairs with Trump.

The president denies the affairs and ordering the payments.

Cohen was released after a year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, and expected to complete his three-year sentence at home in New York City. But earlier this month, after Cohen let it be known he was close to completing his book, the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) said he had “refused the conditions of his home confinement and as a result, has been returned to a BOP facility”.

Cohen was returned to federal prison in Otisville, New York. The ACLU and law firm Perry Guha LLP filed suit on his behalf.

The BOP said the claim it was retaliating was “patently false” but on Thursday a judge in New York found the federal government had acted unconstitutionally in demanding Cohen not publish if he wanted to stay out of prison, and should also refrain from talking to the press or using social media.

“I’ve never seen such a clause, in 21 years in being a judge and sentencing people,” Judge Alvin Hellerstein said. “How can I take any other inference but that it was retaliatory?”

But in response, I have a hidden gem. Imperial Beach, California. The last underdeveloped beach town in southern CA. It is the last town before the Tijuana nature preserve. So it's a little old school, not very flashy, and you can take horse trails through the preserve. On IB there is a pier with a great fish hut. It's not San Diego priced and far better.
