Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, was taken into custody Thursday by U.S. Marshals and sent to a federal jail after he balked at a demand that he agree not to talk to the media, or participate with any film or book, while serving the rest of his criminal sentence on home confinement, his attorney said.

“It’s totally unnecessary, it’s totally outrageous,” said Cohen’s lawyer, Jeffrey Levine. He said that Cohen was “so shaken” by being taken into custody.

Cohen’s detention came weeks after his furlough from a federal prison in Westchester County, N.Y., due to concerns about him catching the coronavirus, and a week after he was photographed by a New York newspaper eating at a Manhattan restaurant.

Wonder if they want to ratchet up the pressure to give more testimony against Trump now that tax returns are coming out.

If Cohen had anything of value he would have shared it already.

Apparently he didn't have an ankle bracelet. Were they surveiling him in any way? Jesus...

The press and book prohibitions, Davis said, were part of an eight-point list presented to Cohen at the meeting that had been previously scheduled. Davis said officials departed the meeting to discuss Cohen's disagreement with the press and book prohibitions, only to have U.S. marshals return about an hour later carrying shackles.

At that point, Davis said, Cohen relented, saying that he would agree to all conditions. "That's when one of the marshals said, 'It's out of our hands.' "
