A federal judge found @MichaelCohen212 was imprisoned in “retaliation” for speaking critically of former Pres. Trump.
What could be a more clear-cut violation of the Constitution?

But, as a federal judge found, that is what happened to Donald Trump’s attorney-turned-adversary Michael Cohen in the summer of 2020. Americans can agree that the courts must provide an adequate remedy for that wrong, as argued in a new amicus brief at the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
