At hole his wife apparently picking him up from this low level prison in pennsylvania the concern was that he was of advanced age he was particularly vulnerable because of some Underlying Health conditions and even though he pled guilty can to conspiracy charges hes going to be allowed to serve the other remaining term of his sentence at his house but its really interesting who didnt get that same permission to leave from the d bureau of prisons and that is when it comes to Michael Cohen the president s former fixer and attorney 2 who pled guilty to lying to Congress Campaign fraud he had also been promised an Early Release because of similar concerns about corona virus and his exposure well being held in captivity and as a result of that request he had been promised this Early Release and then perhaps because he spoke out against the president its really unclear but at the very last minute were told that the bureau of prisons rescinded his Early Release with no explanation.
