Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals on the heels of a newspaper photo showing him eating at a Manhattan restaurant weeks after being released from prison into home confinement.

His attorney told NBC News that his detention could be connected to a photo of him that appeared on the front page of The New York Post eating outside his Manhattan residence, where he was supposed to be under home confinement.

Cohen was taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a federal jail, NBC News reported.

Cohen was recently released from prison after raising concerns he could catch the coronavirus.

  1. The photo is clear. Mr. Cohen wasn’t out partying. He was eating supper. I get it. The condition of his release was stay home. But we’re running a system where violent criminals roam the streets and people get re-incarcerated for eating. From the look on his face he wasn’t even having wine with his dinner. That said the guy should have stayed in his apartment. Who told Reb Michael going out was a good idea?

  2. To Old Crown Royal: Let’s be clear: Cohen was convicted of serious felonies, sent to jail, let out of jail because of a deadly threat of pandemic, ordered to confine himself to his home. Letting him leave jail and confine himself at home was an act of kindness for which he should have been grateful. But he clearly did not appreciate this act of kindness and decided that he could leave his home, an option he would never have had in jail.

    He likely thought he could go out because he thought he would get away with it. If home confinement is not livable, and he goes out, jail is the only place for him.
