Judge Questions Validity of Cases Cited by Michael Cohen's Lawyer
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump's former fixer, Michael Cohen, sought an early end to his supervised release based on case law that may not exist, according to a federal judge in New York. Cohen cited three decisions in his petition, but the judge and the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could not find any evidence of these cases. The judge has ordered Cohen's former lawyer to provide copies of the cases and explain whether Cohen was involved in the apparent deception.
