A federal judge in Manhattan has granted Michael Cohen’s request to delay the date he is scheduled to report to prison by 60 days, meaning the former Trump attorney will not go to jail until early May.

Cohen’s attorneys had requested the 60-day delay, citing his need to recover from recent shoulder surgery and prepare for anticipated congressional testimony before three committees later this month.

U.S. District Judge William Pauley III granted the request Wednesday, pushing back Cohen’s surrender date to May 6. Cohen has been sentenced to three years in prison for a series of crimes he committed while working for President Trump, including campaign finance violations stemming from a scheme to pay off women who alleged affairs with then-candidate Donald Trump before the 2016 election.

The shoulder equivalent to carpal tunnel syndrome, from years of toting bags of cash to NDA meetings.
