SDNY prosecutors are opposing Michael Cohen’s request for a sentencing reduction arguing that the president’s former personal attorney did not provide “substantial” assistance to investigators after his sentencing.
SDNY: “Even after his sentencing, Cohen never made a meaningful effort to engage in serious cooperation but instead engaged in a protracted public relations campaign, in which he sought to cast himself as both victim and hero, aimed at creating the appearance of cooperation…”
Prosecutors say Michael Cohen lied when he denied that he sought a position in the Trump administration. They go on to say they eventually declined his requests for further proffer sessions informing Cohens lawyer they believed he was not a credible witness.
