Michael Cohen, President Trump's ex-personal lawyer, is back in jail.
Cohen, who is serving a three year sentence related to hush payments made for Mr Trump, was released from prison in May, due to coronavirus concerns.
The authorities said Cohen had now been returned to prison after refusing the conditions of his home arrest.
His lawyer, Jeffrey Levine, said the conditions would have barred him from speaking to news organisations or posting on social media.
Cohen, 53, is serving a three-year sentence for lying to Congress and campaign finance fraud.
His return to jail comes days after he was spotted on 2 July having dinner with his wife and another couple on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
