Cohen could be seen Friday with his left arm covered, hanging in a sling, black eye

Cohen could be seen Friday with his left arm covered, hanging in a sling, while sporting a possible black eye. His right hand had a small bandage of the kind used to cover a small wound by an IV.






Michael Cohen returned to his Manhattan apartment Friday after suffering some kind of physical injury – with his arm appearing to be in a sling on a day President Trump and his team once again branded him a liar.

He also wore a red identification of the kind distributed by hospitals

For real, though, wouldn't put it past a Trumper named Bubu to have attacked him. That being said, if it was something that came from Mafia Don, Cohen would probably be more than *just* beat up.

The prison-bound ex-Trump fixer was spotted walking into his Manhattan home Friday with his right arm in a sling after undergoing “minor” surgery on his shoulder, according to a representative.

The medical procedure was pre-scheduled and went by quickly without complications, said Eleanor McManus, a spokeswoman for Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis.

“In was one of those in-and-out procedures he had to get done,” McManus told the Daily News.

The 52-year-old attorney, who’s set to start serving a three-year prison sentence on March 6, had a jacket draped over his shoulders and appeared to be clutching a pillow as he walked into the Loews Regency Hotel in Midtown, where he’s been living since the FBI raided his home and office in April.

If you didn’t know his history you might feel sorry for him.

It reminds me of myself right after I'd had my son by C-section.

it looks like he’s supporting his arm, which is in a sling. I’m sure just the jostling or riding in a car and walking might be uncomfortable post surgery. Doesn’t seem odd to me.

He was a grown up when he made the decision to go all in with Trump, and he happily converted that into a senior post with the RNC, but his life seems to be in tatters right now because of those decisions.

as hordes of them surrounded Cohen in public and in their frenzy to pat him on the back and high five him inflicted unintended bodily harm upon his person.
