President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen filed a petition on Monday saying that he deserves early release from home confinement.

In a lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York, Cohen claims that he “could be eligible for release in a matter of weeks or months” under the bipartisan First Step Act, a prison reform bill signed into law in 2018 by the president.
