    Federal officers returned Cohen to prison after a meeting over home-confinement conditions that included a broad ban on publishing, media contact, and social media. Officials said he refused the conditions and was combative; Cohen said he sought to negotiate language affecting his forthcoming Trump book. A court later tested those competing explanations and found the reincarceration retaliatory.
