Former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen says he unwittingly passed along to his attorney bogus artificial intelligence-generated legal case citations he got online before they were submitted to a judge in New York. Cohen made the admission in a court filing unsealed Friday in Manhattan federal court as a judge decides whether to punish one of Cohen's lawyers, who cited the fake cases in a submission to the judge. The cases were cited as part of written arguments the lawyer made to try to end Cohen's probation early after his criminal convictions and three-year prison sentence. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to tax evasion, campaign finance charges and lying to Congress.
