President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen will be allowed to leave federal prison less than one year into his three-year sentence for several crimes, including lying to Congress and campaign finance violations, due to coronavirus concerns. 

According to The New York Times, Cohen will be held for a 14-day quarantine period at a medium-security prison, and then be allowed to continue serving his sentence at home. People familiar with the matter told CNN that Cohen will be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence through home confinement.
