"Michael Cohen Admits Using AI-Generated Fake Case Citations in Legal Bid for Sentence Reduction"
Michael Cohen, former lawyer for Donald Trump, admitted to mistakenly providing his attorney with fake legal citations generated by an AI service, Google Bard, in an attempt to end his supervised release early. These false citations were submitted to court without verification by his lawyer, David Schwartz, who now faces potential sanctions. This incident raises concerns about Cohen's credibility as a witness in ongoing cases against Trump, including the Manhattan DA's criminal business fraud case and the NY Attorney General's civil fraud case. Cohen served time for tax evasion and campaign finance violations related to "hush money" payments and was released to home confinement due to COVID-19 before being put on supervised release.
