Cohen ‘Pleasantly Surprised’ By Prison Life

June 6, 2019 at 4:30 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Michael Cohen has become a prison celebrity, CNN reports.

Inmates have been asking President Trump’s former lawyer for legal advice and asking about Stormy Daniels and what it was like to work for Trump.

Said one friend: “He’s pleasantly surprised that everyone has been very cordial and have actually been coming up offering him advice about prison life and offering him to come eat lunch with them.”
