OK-now in Michael Cohen v Trump, Cohen is here in the courtroom to fend off motion to dismiss @SDNYLIVE. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Defense: Cohen was in custody pursuant to statute. He claims home confinement is different.
Judge Liman: He's citing the Bail Reform Act. What about abuse of process?
Defense: There was no abuse. BOP sent him to FCI Otisville.
Judge: He's saying Mr Trump retaliated
Defense: On emotional distress, Cohen is not even claiming intent or negligence. Under the FTCA, his complaint should be dismissed.
Judge Liman: He says the prison was 100 degrees.
Defense: It's within BOP's discretion.
Judge: That's not Judge Laval's analysis
