The former lawyer of President Trump, Cohen, has been serving a three-year prison term. On the way to jail, he announced new revelations about his ex-client.
There is still much to tell, and he looks forward to the day when he can bring out the truth – with these words, the longstanding lawyer of US President Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, left his New York apartment to take his prison sentence , Hopefully, if he leaves prison, the US will be a „place without xenophobia, injustice and lies at the top,“ Cohen said.
Imprisonment for election campaign offenses
The 53-year-old was considered Trump’s cleaners and pleaded guilty to having paid before the election in 2016 Schweigegeld an earlier „Playboy“ model and a porn actress who had declared that they had slept with Trump. The President denies such affairs. Cohen also acknowledged lied to Congress about a Trump construction project in Moscow, evaded taxes and betrayed banks.
Comprehensively testified against Trump
Due to the postponement of his detention for several months Cohen was allowed to testify before the Congress on his allegations against Trump. In a dramatic hearing at the end of February, he accused his former boss of various legal violations and habitual lies. He described Trump as „racists, cheaters and fraudsters“.
Cohen had hoped until the last moment that his sentence could be lowered because of his willingness to cooperate with investigators. Since he has since been deprived of the lawyer license and his finances are scarce, he thinks about publishing a book or processing his story in a movie.
Trump Corporation plays down Cohen’s role
The White House did not comment on Cohen’s imprisonment. Trump vice president George Sorial described Cohen as a low-skilled lawyer in a post for the Wall Street Journal. He was not credited with running his own department in the Trump Organization. He „was not good enough to get real control transferred“.
