Cohen leaves prison early due to virus

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former personal attorney, was released from a federal prison in New York state yesterday due to concerns he could be exposed to the novel coronavirus there. Cohen, 53, had completed a bit more than a year of a three-year sentence for his role in paying hush money to two women who said they had sexual relationships with Trump, as well as financial crimes and lying to Congress. He is expected to serve the rest of his sentence in home confinement.
