The agreement between Cohen’s lawyers and federal prosecutors also frees Cohen to engage with news organizations and use social media, as he serves the remainder of his three-year term for campaign finance violations and other crimes in home confinement
“There shall be no specific media provision” governing Cohen’s activities, according to the agreement, which requires approval by U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan.Cohen, 53, had served about one year of his prison term before being sent home to his Manhattan apartment in May, because of the risk of contracting COVID-19 behind bars.
But Hellerstein ordered his release last week, saying the return to prison amounted to government retaliation against Cohen’s desire to exercise his First Amendment rights. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign violations tied to hush money payments to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who claimed they had affairs with Trump.
