"I am extremely close:" Michael Cohen days away from house arrest release
CBSN
Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to Donald Trump, will be released from home confinement Monday after serving a three-year term between house arrest and federal prison. In 2018, he pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and lying to Congress about business in Russia.
"I am done Sunday night," Cohen told CBS News' Jeff Pegues on his podcast "America: Changed Forever." "Monday first thing in the morning I will be taking myself down to 500 Pearl Street where I will be bringing my release papers to, I'm not 100% sure which floor, have them executed and then I am released."
Cohen said he has been on house arrest for 18 months after more than 13 months in federal prison and said he has managed to keep himself busy through podcasting, writing, going on walks in the park allowed under his confinement's terms and the gym.
