Prison Sentence Required Against Trump's Former Lawyer Michael Cohen

Michel Cohen, who is cooperating with US Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation into a possible collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign team in 2016, pleaded guilty to the charges against him in August.

The former president's lawyer said he arranged payments by order of Donald Trump prior to the 2016 presidential election to silence two women, including Stormy Daniels, who said they had an affair with the Republican candidate.

Robert Mueller is expected to present a separate sentencing recommendation on Friday for a lie case in Congress. Michael Cohen is accused of lying to US parliamentarians about talks on the construction of a skyscraper proposed by the Trump Organization in Moscow.
