Michael Cohen Released From Prison Due To Coronavirus Concerns Enlarge this image toggle caption John Minchillo/AP John Minchillo/AP President Trump's former personal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, was released from a federal prison and into home confinement Thursday. Cohen, 53, who once proclaimed he "would take a bullet for the president," was sentenced in 2018 to a three-year federal prison term following guilty pleas to a number of financial and political crimes, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress. Last week, another former member of Trump's inner circle — onetime presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort — was also released from prison due to concerns of virus exposure. A March 26 memo from Barr outlined that one of the Federal Bureau of Prisons' "tools" to help keep prison populations safe "is the ability to grant certain eligible prisoners home confinement in certain circumstances."
