A federal judge in Manhattan sentenced President Donald Trumps former personal lawyer Michael Cohen to three years in federal prison on Wednesday. Cohen previously pleaded guilty to numerous criminal charges related to lying to Congress and violating campaign finance law through paying hush money to women who allegedly had sexual affairs with Trump.

Cohen, 52, faced two separate cases one from U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York and another from special counsel Robert Muellers office covering a range of criminal offenses.

I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to: the personal ones to me and those involving the president of the United States of America, Cohen reportedly told the judge before his sentencing. He said he had been living in a personal and mental incarceration ever since the day that I accepted the offer to work for a real estate mogul.

Responding to a Trump tweet that called him weak, Cohen said that he was weak because time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds.

Lanny Davis, an adviser to Cohen, said that Cohen would state publicly all he knows about Mr. Trump at an appropriate time.

Michael has owned up to his mistakes and fully cooperated with special counsel Mueller in his investigation over possible Trump campaign collusion with Russian meddling in the 2016 election, Davis said. While Mr. Mueller gave Michael significant credit for cooperation on the core issues, it is unfortunate that SDNY prosecutors did not do the same. To me, their judgment showed a lack of appropriate proportionality.

The U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York also announced Wednesday that it had reached a non-prosecution agreement with AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer. AMI admitted to making the $150,000 payment in concert with [Trumps] presidential campaign as part of an effort to hide Playboy playmate Karen McDougals alleged affair with the now-president from voters. The company has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.

Federal prosecutors had recommended last week that Cohen serve 42 months in prison for his crimes, rejecting the notion he should be given leniency for pleading guilty and providing information to authorities. Muellers office, however, detailed in their pre-sentencing filing how Cohen had offered extensive assistance to their investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

Cohens lawyers had requested that their client serve no time in prison, stating in a court filing that his cooperation with prosecutors was extensive and that he gave seven interviews to Muellers team. Cohen told the special counsels office about the Trump Organizations real estate plans in Moscow, and also outlined his own contacts with Russian interests during the presidential campaign.

The FBI raided Cohens office, hotel room and home in April of this year, making him a key figure in Muellers probe. Since then, he has pleaded guilty in multiple cases that include payoffs to porn star Stormy Daniels and McDougal, as well as lying to congressional committees about the Trump Organizations proposed projects in Russia.
