JUST IN: The ACLU and a law firm have filed a legal challenge alleging that Michael Cohen was incarcerated after being released on home confinement in retaliation for his plans to release a negative book about President Trump.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said when he was returned to custody that"Michael Cohen refused the conditions of his home confinement, and as a result, has been returned to a BOP facility."
In Monday's petition, the attorneys for Cohen say that agreement"had been custom-made for Mr. Cohen," and that it did not appear standard and was riddled with typos. The attorney, Cohen and probation officers then discussed changing the section of the agreement. The suit says Cohen never refused to sign the document.
The suit says Cohen began working on the book soon after arriving at the federal prison in Otisville, and he did so fully in compliance with Bureau of Prisons regulations.
