| Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen gets three years sentence |
| 2018-12-13 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Michael Cohen, US President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, was sentenced to a total of three years in prison on Wednesday for his role in making illegal hush-money payments to women to help Trump’s 2016 election campaign and lying to Congress about a proposed Trump Tower project in Russia. US District Judge William Pauley in Manhattan sentenced Cohen to three years for the payments, which violated campaign finance law, and to two months for the false statements to Congress. The two terms will run concurrently. Cohen pleaded guilty to the campaign finance charge in August and to making false statements in November. |

| #3 Looks like they took the 'tax evasion' charge off the docket. I've been trying to figure out how Mueller would have concluded Cohen was guilty of 'tax evasion' in spite of clearing at least one IRS audit without that charge. |

| #1 No doubt he deserves it, and no doubt nothing would've happened to him if he wasn't Trump's lawyer. |
