NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Michael Cohen, President Trump's former lawyer, will be released early from an upstate federal prison because of coronavirus fears and serve out the rest of his sentence at home, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
But this isn't the first time it's been reported that he was going to be released early: In mid-April it was reported by multiple outlets, including CNN, which cited his lawyer Roger Adler, that he would be released early.
Then on May 1, ABC News reported that he would not be leaving the prison. ABC News reported that it appeared all of the prisoners at the facility who were granted home confinement had lost those privileges.
Cohen, sentenced to three years at the Otisville facility, is scheduled to be released in November 2021.
It is expected he would return to his Manhattan apartment.
