President Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen is trading blazers for prison garb. He has until 2 p.m. to report to a federal prison, where he'll be serving a three-year sentence.

FILE - In this Saturday, May 4, 2019, file photo, Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, is confronted by members of the media as he heads back to his Park Avenue apartment in New York. Cohen has until Monday afternoon, May 6, 2019, to report to a federal prison where he’ll begin his three-year sentence. Cohen is the only person charged in connection with hush-money payments to women who allegedly had affairs with Trump.

Cohen, who has been disbarred, is trading plaid blazers for khaki prison garb after trying and failing in recent weeks to get his sentence delayed or reduced. Cohen, 53, is the only person charged with a crime in connection with the hush-money payments to women who allegedly had affairs with Trump. Once he gets to prison, Cohen will undergo medical and mental health screenings and be assigned a job, such as mowing the grounds or cleaning up the visiting room. He’ll also get sets of clothing, bedding and towels.

“There’s no free time to work on your book, or whatever,” said former employee Don Drewett. “You get your downtime when you’re supposed to be sleeping or when you can exercise, but that only happens at certain windows of the day. It’s not where in the middle of the day you can just opt to not go to work and go work out. That’s not the way that works.”

I wonder what would happen if we got rid of these luxury prisons and spread equality through even the justice systems... I wonder it would deter rich-people from doing crimes that in retrospect are usually more damaging to the public than most that are in the state-pen. Equality

😁😁😁😁😁😁

More fake news. And they wonder why we consider the media the enemy of the people.

Trump should go with him

AP is dumpster water

He is going to jail for tax evasion

Hope he’s wearing a chastity belt.

Justice won’t be served until Trump joins him there for the same crime.

wachfox

Blazer my ass. Better buy an industrial size jar of KY jelly to ease the pain.

PhyllisBoyce2 Was he convicted of hush money scheme like the press is insinuating?

3 hots and a cot.. and an occasional late night visit.. lol

Oh, he’ll have lots of company pretty soon, if justice is well served.

🍾 snitch

Trump should be his cell mate

And his boss and bigger con man is in the WH. Where is justice?

Why are they calling it a “hush money sceme” 🤦🏾‍♀️ And that’s NOT why he’s doing these 3 years. lgb1060

Another false misleading headline. He is not doing time for 'hush payments'. Non disclosure agreements are perfectly legal. And no one goes to jail for campaign finance violations even if the pmt was one. He's going in for bank and tax fraud. FakeNews

Cohen has ONLY Hillary Clinton to thank. Another Clintonvictim. Taking her FREE lawyer put him in the pen. 😔

He isn’t going to jail bc of a hush money scheme. This headline is opportunistic

Notice how the biased AP tries to bury in their story that he was actually convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion, but they try to make it seem like the Trump thing was the big story.

Fixer? Sounds like a gone bad drug deal? YOur title is garbage! realDonaldTrump

😬

Not the type of jail they send people who jump turnstiles, steal candy or 'disrespect' a cop. This jail is like a boys camp. Probably just like the one Manafort bragged about being in before he was transferred. Why arent all the jails like the 1 he's going to?!🤔

he'll serve his time and return to promote his tell-all [tell some] where his first stop'll be either cnn or gma... because that's america

Cohen redeemed himself a great deal by telling the truth on the record about Trump. He should feel good about himself now.

Bank fraud on personal dealings is what did him in.

I actually feel sorry for him. He was a young ambitious guy who saw an opportunity to succeed and ended up compromising. Same happens to many of the “Me Too Club” who allow disrespect for a professional push.

3 year jail sentence for hush money? Gotta have that spin.

When will Hillary report?

The President of the United States of America had a fixer?

He should make one ask; that Avenatti gets the top bunk.

Will Democrats save me from going to jail? Get over it deluded fixer! Dems are in for what they'll get not what they give. This is the reason socialists are swelling their ranks. Socialists consume to the bone. They aren't known for economic development

And JoeNBC and morningmika want us to pity him

WhatDidGenFlynnSay ITS HAPPENING!👈😁 listen up👈👍👊✊👋

He was doing illegal personal Financial scams👈 he pled guilty It had nothing to do with hush money👈 it's a liberal talking point! He pled guilty to a crime that didn't exist👈😁 typical liberal report!

Hope he has something to say before he heads off.

This is what happens when ya flip on a client. You broke the code.

... and what about the Fixer's boss?

Done up like a kipper. fallguyformany

Three years? He’ll be out way before that

Thoughts and prayers

“I’ll take a bullet for Trump”

Get loose kid

Else we'll come and get ya.

This is breaking news while rockets are being fired at Israel?

A person has to be willing to go to jail, working for realDonaldTrump.

Michael Cohen was Donald Trump's personal attorney for a period of time -- he was NEVER President Trump's attorney. The Associated Press (Globalist-Rothschild product) are 100% filthy liars.

'Bad karma' catches up will everyone...

SEE YUHHH!

Libs, happy or sad?

But not for anyting related fo TrumpRussiaCollusion delusion.
