Former Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Denied Early Release From Probation After Feds Cite Continued Lying

Cohen's bid for early release from probation was rejected by a federal judge who cited Cohen's recent comments in a book and television appearance as evidence he continues to lie.
Federal prosecutors argued against Cohen's request for early release, saying his lies undermine any claims of cooperation with authorities.
Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to multiple felonies, including lying to Congress, violating campaign finance laws, and tax evasion.
Cohen's credibility remains in question and will be scrutinized if a jury hears the criminal case against Trump related to hush money payments Cohen said he made on Trump's behalf.
Restrictions on Cohen's travel, finances, and firearm ownership will remain in place under the terms of his probation.
