Reuters) - Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer and fixer for Donald Trump, will be allowed to publish a book critical of the U.S. president before the Nov. 3 election while completing his criminal sentence at home, under an agreement filed on Thursday.

The agreement between Cohen’s lawyers and federal prosecutors also frees Cohen to engage with news organizations and use social media, as he serves the remainder of his three-year term for campaign finance violations and other crimes in home confinement.

“There shall be no specific media provision” governing Cohen’s activities, according to the agreement, which requires approval by U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan.

Cohen, 53, had served about one year of his prison term before being sent home to his Manhattan apartment in May, because of the risk of contracting COVID-19 behind bars.

4. "will be allowed to publish"--

these Trumpers who keep screeching about "my First amendment!" when they mean forcing Twitter to leave up Trump's dangerous lies about Covid-19 are just fine with Trump trying to keep his niece and his lawyer and his NSA advisor from publishing books.

Of course, in their understanding, the First Amendment reads:
Citizens and organizations shall make no complaint, protest, book, broadcast, or other material that present Donald J. Trump Sr in a bad light. Donald J. Trump Sr. and his admirers may force other citizens and organizations to accept and broadcast his and their lies, dangerous falsehoods, and deceptions.

The only "free speech" they want is Trump lies.
