Federal prosecutors on Thursday agreed to lift a gag order on Michael Cohen, allowing the former attorney for President Trump to continue writing a memoir as he serves out his three-year prison sentence in home confinement.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan backed down from its insistence that Cohen not engage with the media or publish anything while out on home confinement after a judge this month ruled that the condition was in retaliation over his plans to write a tell-all about his years working for Trump.
In a court filing submitted Thursday afternoon, the prosecutors said "the parties agree that a specific provision regarding Petitioner’s contact with the media is not necessary."
