(Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Thursday ordered President Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen released from prison on Friday and returned to home confinement.

Cohen was sent home from prison in May because of the coronavirus pandemic. He was shackled again on July 9 after he questioned an agreement that barred him from publishing a book, engaging with news organizations and posting on social media.
