总统迈克尔·科恩唐纳德·特朗普他的律师说，这是一个令人惊讶的决定，感觉就像“地毯已经从下面被拉了出来”他的客户。
根据监狱管理局的说法，在司法部因冠状病毒问题将科恩和其他囚犯从联邦拘留所释放后，科恩于5月份从联邦拘留所被释放到他在曼哈顿的家中“休假”。
科恩，53岁，周四在曼哈顿联邦法院安排他的家庭监禁条件，但听证会结束时他被戴上手铐。
监狱管理局的一名官员在一份声明中说:“2020年5月21日，科恩被休了假，等待软禁。”“今天，迈克尔·科恩拒绝了他的家庭监禁条件，结果被送回了防喷器设施。”
科恩的律师杰弗里·莱文(Jeffrey Levine)在科恩被重新收押后表示:“这不是我们今天来这里要做的事情。”"我们来这里是为了解决他被软禁的条款和条件。"

据一位消息人士透露，当被告知监禁条件时，科恩对规定没有异议，直到他被告知“不能与媒体有任何形式的接触，包括印刷、电视、电影、书籍或其他形式的媒体/新闻”，而且不能使用社交媒体。
消息人士称，科恩说他对语言有问题，在被告知进入等候室之前，他说，“让我们解决这个问题。”
消息人士说:“接下来，我们知道，90分钟后，法警来了与枷锁。”
莱文说:“国际收支只是不想有任何工作与任何语言出来。”
消息人士称，科恩自5月份被释放以来，一直频繁使用他的推特账户，他有一份图书交易，不想仅仅因为被软禁在家就放弃出版权。
科恩被带到布鲁克林的大都会拘留中心，这个联邦拘留所目前关押着前杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的红颜知己吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦。
2018年，科恩承认违反了竞选财政法，向声称在2016年总统竞选前与特朗普有婚外情的女性支付了款项，他还承认在宣誓后对国会撒谎说自己是莫斯科人不动产特朗普和他的公司在努力争取共和党总统候选人提名的同时，也在推进这个项目。
科恩最初在纽约州的奥蒂斯维尔教养所服刑三年，预计将于2021年获释。
Michael Cohen, furloughed from prison in May, back in federal custody after he balks at gag order
Michael Cohen, PresidentDonald Trump's former personal attorney, was taken back into federal custody Thursday in what his attorney said was a surprise decision that felt like "the rug had been pulled out from underneath" his client.
Cohen was released in May from federal custody to his Manhattan home on "furlough," according to the Bureau of Prisons, after the Department of Justice released him and other prisoners from federal detention facilities due to coronavirus concerns.
Cohen, 53, was in Manhattan federal court Thursday to arrange the conditions of his home confinement but the hearing ended with him being placed in handcuffs.
"On May 21, 2020, Mr. Cohen was placed on furlough pending placement on home confinement," a Bureau of Prisons official said in a statement. "Today, Michael Cohen refused the conditions of his home confinement and as a result, has been returned to a BOP facility."
"This is not what we came here to do today," Cohen's attorney, Jeffrey Levine, said after Cohen had been taken back into custody. "We came here to work out the terms and conditions of his home confinement."
When presented with the conditions of his confinement, Cohen had no problem with the stipulations until he was told he could have "no engagement of any kind with the media, including print, TV, film, books, or other form of media/news," and that he couldn't use social media, according to a source.
Cohen said he had a problem with the language and said, "Let's work this out" before he was told to enter a waiting room, the source said.
"The next thing we knew, 90 minutes later, the marshals are coming with the shackles," said the source.
"BOP just didn't want to have anything to do with working any language out," Levine said.
Cohen, who has been using his Twitter account frequently since he was released in May, has a book deal and did not want to relinquish the right to publish just because he was on home confinement, the source said.
Cohen was taken to Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the same federal facility currently holding former Jeffrey Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell.
In 2018 Cohen admitted to violating campaign finance laws over payments made to women who alleged having affairs with Trump years before his 2016 presidential campaign, and he admitted lying to Congress while under oath about a Moscowreal estateproject Trump and his company pursued while Trump was trying to secure the Republican nomination for president.
Cohen was originally serving his three-year sentence in New York State's Otisville Correctional Facility and was slated to be released from custody in 2021.
