Michael Cohen Sues AG Barr After Being Sent Back to Prison

Michael Cohen is suing Attorney General William Barr, claiming he was thrown back in prison because he refused to put the kibosh on his tell-all book about President Trump.

Cohen — who was sentenced to three years in prison for tax evasion, bank fraud, and lying to Congress — was released in May after one year due to concerns over the spread of coronavirus inside Otisville prison.

But Cohen was locked up again on July 9 after the former Trump fixer was caught by a Post photographer chowing down at a Manhattan restaurant.

Federal officials said he violated the terms of his home confinement — and threw him into solitary confinement back at Otisville.

But Cohen, 53, claims in the lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan Monday that he was locked up because he refused to cancel plans to publish a behind-the-scenes book that would make Trump out to be “a cheat, a liar, a con man, a racist,” the suit said.
