Two weeks after being taken to prison, President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen was released on Thursday after a judge determined he had been a target of retaliation for planning to publish a book about the president. Cohen had originally been released to home confinement in June due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but was put in jail again for questioning an agreement that barred him from publishing a book, speaking with the media or publishing on social platforms.
