President Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen will be released from federal prison because of the coronavirus outbreak and will serve the remainder of his time in home confinement, reports said Wednesday.

Cohen will be released from Otisville Prison in upstate New York, where he is serving time for lying to Congress and campaign-finance violations, a person familiar with the matter told the Associated Press.

Cohen has been in prison since last May and was expected to remain in custody until November 2021.

He had appealed to a Manhattan federal court judge for compassionate release in March, but the justice denied him in a scorching order.

“That Cohen would seek to single himself out for release to home confinement appears to be just another effort to inject himself into the news cycle,” Judge William Pauley wrote in the order denying his request.

His early release Wednesday was granted by the federal Bureau of Prisons, according to the AP.

The agency had previously said he and other inmates at Otisville would be released, but then rescinded the decision days later.
