NEW YORK - Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, took a parting shot at his former boss - denouncing"xenophobia, injustice and lies" - before reporting to a U.S. federal prison on Monday to begin a three-year sentence.
"I hope that when I rejoin my family and friends that the country will be in a place without xenophobia, injustice and lies at the helm of our country," Cohen said, without uttering Trump's name."There still remains much to be told, and I look forward to the day that I can share the truth." Cohen's prison term completes a stunning fall for the native of New York's Long Island whose career was tethered to Trump as he evolved from wealthy real estate developer to reality TV personality to politician. For more than a decade, Cohen served as Trump's personal lawyer and self-described"fixer.
"I will continue questioning why Michael is the only person within the Trump Organization to be prosecuted for crimes committed at the direction of and for the benefit of Mr. Trump," Davis added. Cohen broke with Trump in July 2018, telling ABC News he intended to put family and loyalty to his country ahead of the president. Cohen and his wife, Laura Shusterman, 49, have two adult children, Samantha and Jake.
