Ex-Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison
(CBS NEWS) - Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen has been sentenced by a federal judge in Manhattan to three years in federal prison.
Prosecutors had recommended a "substantial term of imprisonment" for Cohen, who pleaded guilty to both lying to Congress over a possible Trump Tower Moscow project, and to campaign finance violations for paying women who alleged affairs with Donald Trump. Cohen's lawyers are asking that he serve no prison time.
Cohen, according to the Associated Press, said in his defense that "blind loyalty" to Mr. Trump "led me to take a path of darkness instead of light."
