A federal judge on Wednesday turned down Michael Cohen’s bid to end his supervised release early, remarking that it was “perverse” of the defense to try and “spin” an admission that he lied under oath into a reason he was entitled to relief from the rest of his sentence.

U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman, noting that Donald Trump’s former fixer has tried time and again to terminate his supervised release, was not at all persuaded by the “principal basis” of Cohen’s latest request. While Cohen cited his October 2023 testimony in Trump’s New York civil fraud trial, in which he admitted having lied under oath to his sentencing judge, Furman agreed with the government that, if anything, the testimony only supported denying the request.
