Michael Cohen wants sentence reduced for providing feds with Trump info Washington Times, Dec 11, 2019
NEW YORK — Michael Cohen wants his three-year prison sentence reduced as a reward for providing authorities information about alleged misdeeds by President Donald Trump, according to court papers filed Wednesday in which he said his incarceration is “a powerful and humbling punishment.”
Cohen claimed in the filings in federal court in Manhattan that his continuing cooperation has included spending 10 hours with representatives from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. during three meetings at a minimum security prison northwest of New York City.
Cohen, the former personal attorney and fixer for Trump, said he was asked to help “corroborate the claims and actions” related to Vance’s subpoena of Trump’s tax returns, an effort the president is seeking to have blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court.
