Cohen to get little jail break

The fixer got himself a deal. Michael Cohen can remain a free man for a bit longer than initially planned so he can recover from shoulder surgery and testify before Congress, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled Wednesday.

Michael Monico, Cohen’s new lawyer, put in a request that his client be allowed to start his three-year prison sentence on May 6 instead of March 6, saying the disgraced ex-personal fixer to President Trump “recently underwent a serious surgical procedure” and “needs to undergo intensive post-surgical physical therapy.”

Monico also noted in the brief motion that Cohen expects to be called to testify before three congressional committees, and imprisonment would make the grillings much harder to schedule.

The Cohen lawyer added the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan “does not object,” and Judge William Pauley approved the request within minutes.

Lanny Davis, Cohen’s other lawyer and all-around mouthpiece, told the Daily News that the ex-Trump cleanup man underwent “serious shoulder surgery” last month and thanked Pauley for allowing him the time to recover.

The House Oversight Committee announced late Wednesday it will host Cohen for public testimony on Feb. 27.

Cohen — whose guilty plea directly implicated Trump in campaign finance crimes stemming from hush payments to his alleged ex-paramours — canceled his initial oversight panel testimony last month out of concern for his family’s safety because of alleged threats from Trump and Rudy Giuliani.

He then pulled out of two closed-door appearances before the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, citing complications from his shoulder surgery. New dates for those grillings have not yet been announced.

The intel cancellations drew ire from the chairmen of those committees — particularly after he was spotted wining and dining at an upscale Midtown restaurant on the day he canceled the Senate panel appearance.
