Michael Cohen, former President Trump’s onetime personal lawyer and the key witness against him in his New York state indictment, was denied early release from his probation following his three-year prison term Friday.
U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman in Manhattan said that Cohen has continued to lie in recent comments, citing comments he made in a book and on television in March when he said he hadn’t committed tax fraud, his charges were "all 100 percent inaccurate" and that he was "threatened" by prosecutors into pleading guilty.
Cohen is a regular on cable news problems, often giving his opinion on Trump.
Cohen’s lawyer David M. Schwartz claimed he had "clearly demonstrated" his rehabilitation after being a "model prisoner" who had "substantially cooperated with all government authorities."
