The ACLU says it is suing the administration of Donald Trump "for imprisoning Michael Cohen in retaliation for his plans to publish a book" critical of the president.

“We're suing the federal government for imprisoning Michael Cohen in retaliation for his plans to publish a book critical of Trump,” @ACLU tweeted late Monday night.

“We will defend the First Amendment from government censorship — as we have for a century now.”
