Cohen went to prison for arranging payments to silence women who claimed to have had affairs with President Trump and for lying to Congress in 2016.
In Cohen’s tell-all book, Disloyal, he revealed Trump also committed tax fraud and lied to Melania to cover-up his affairs with other women.
In 2010, Cohen briefly campaigned for a seat in the New York State Senate.
Cohen admitted that he worked at the direction of Trump to pay former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affairs with Trump — which Cohen said was an effort to influence the 2016 election.
But U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III said a tough sentence was warranted because “as a lawyer, Mr. Cohen should have known better.”
Cohen’s sentence aligns with the sentence of about three and a half years that prosecutors had recommended in a filing on Friday. In a separate case, Cohen pleaded guilty last month to lying to Congress in 2017 about the timing and details of his work on a since-abandoned project to build a Trump tower in Russia.
On Wednesday, prosecutors announced AMI had admitted otherwise, saying “its principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman’s story so as to prevent it from influencing the election.”
Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York also announced a previously reached non-prosecution agreement with the parent company of the National Enquirer, American Media, Inc., which admitted to paying McDougal $150,000 “in concert with a candidate’s presidential campaign.”.
M ichael Cohen, the former longtime personal lawyer of President Donald Trump, was sentenced to three years in federal prison on Wednesday, taking a parting shot at the President after implicating him in hush money payments to two women over alleged affairs with Trump.
Under existing Department of Justice policy, the President cannot be indicted.
Michael Cohen began his career as a private injury lawyer in 1992, but his business interests quickly expanded as he built a large real estate portfolio and a business that specialized in the New York City taxicab trade. In the 2000s, Cohen began working for future President Donald Trump, where he earned a reputation for loyalty and ferocity. His work on behalf of Trump during the 2016 campaign, including the payment of $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels, along with his possible involvement in attempts to cover-up purported collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, landed Cohen in the crossfires of the investigation being led by special counsel Robert Mueller. In August 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to tax evasion and bank fraud, while also claiming that he made illegal campaign contributions under the direction of Trump. He began serving a three-year prison sentence in May 2019.
In early 2018, it was revealed that Cohen paid Stephanie Clifford, also known by her adult film name Stormy Daniels, $130,000 in the fall of 2016. The payment was made with regards to Daniels’ claim of a 2006 affair with Trump.
Cohen sued Daniels for breaking the terms of a non-disclosure agreement related to the payment, and Daniels countersued, alleging the NDA was invalid because it had never been signed by Trump.
Cohen also described how Trump often understated his net worth for tax purposes and instructed him to threaten someone to prevent the release of potentially damaging information. His statements were met with significant pushback from the president's supporters, who sought to discredit him as a liar and convicted felon.
Cohen was named in the Steele dossier, a controversial document compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, which alleges a conspiracy between the Russian government and Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. Among its claims are that Cohen traveled to Prague in the summer of 2016 to facilitate a cover-up (including cash payments) of illicit operations.
Michael Jackson was a multi-talented musical entertainer who enjoyed a chart-topping career both with the Jackson 5 and as a solo artist. He released one of the best-selling albums in history, 'Thriller,' in 1982, and had other number-one hits on 'Bad' and 'Off the Wall.'
The club has been accused of being a base of operation for several Russian-American gangsters, and in the 1980s, Cohen’s uncle (the primary owner) was accused of providing medical advice to members of the notorious Lucchese crime family.
Sater was suspected of money laundering and stock manipulation in 1998 but was given a pass because he was acting as a CIA informant.
In his opening statement as part of his testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Cohen calls Trump a "con man," a "racist" and a "cheat ."
According to Mueller's team, Cohen briefed Trump more than three times in 2016 on the status of the project, according to Mueller's team.
In December, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for crimes including campaign finance violations ...
2007 : Cohen joins Trump Organization. Cohen first came on Trump's radar after he bought a Trump World Tower apartment in 2001. He later acquired more Trump properties and helped Trump in a dispute with a condo board, prompting Trump to tell the New York Post in 2007 that "Michael Cohen has a great insight into the real-estate market.".
Cohen submitted a written statement to the House and Senate Intelligence committees, which said the effort "to build a Trump property in Moscow that was terminated in January of 2016; which occurred before the Iowa caucus and months before the very first primary."
Last year, Cohen told the House and Senate Intelligence committees that the Moscow Trump Tower development plan was scrapped in January 2016. But Cohen continued to update Trump on the project as late as June 2016, according to Thursday's court filing.
