NEW YORK (AP) – President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer has sued Attorney General William Barr and the Bureau of Prisons director, saying he’s being unjustly held behind bars to stop him from finishing a book that criticizes Trump. The lawsuit on behalf of Michael Cohen was filed late Monday in Manhattan federal court, alleging his First Amendment rights were violated when he was returned to prison on July 9. Cohen was furloughed in May as part of an attempt to slow the spread of the virus in federal prisons. He had served only a year of his three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to campaign finance charges and lying to Congress, among other crimes. A message for comment was left with the Justice Department.
