Former councilmember and soon-to-be federal inmate Chaim Deutsch has been given an additional three weeks of liberty, so his newly administered COVID-19 vaccine can take full effect.
The Manhattan federal judge handling the disgraced pol’s case, James Cott, granted a request by Deutsch’s attorney Henry Mazurek to move the date he is required to surrender to federal custody from Oct. 29 to Nov. 19, after Deutsch decided at the last minute to receive a Johnson & Johnson single-dose shot, as first reported by the New York Post.
