President Trump's Former Lawyer <br />Michael Cohen Sentenced to <br />Three Years in Jail Back in August, Cohen pleaded guilty to <br />tax fraud, lying to banks and <br />violating campaign finance laws. He also pleaded guilty last month to lying to Congress about a failed deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. That case was lodged by <br />Robert Mueller, who said Cohen went "to significant lengths to assist the Special Counsel's investigation." The three-year sentence is on the low end of what prosecutors had suggested for Cohen's crimes. He is due to surrender to prison on <br />March 6, 2019. The president hasn't been charged but Cohen's admissions leave open the possibility that Trump <br />could face prosecution particularly once he <br />leaves the White House.
