Despite his best efforts, Michael Cohen reported to prison on Monday. The former personal attorney and fixer for President Trump will serve three years for a host of crimes, most notably violations of federal campaign finance law stemming from pre-election hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, both of whom allegedly had affairs with Trump.
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, he told reporters before departing for Otisville, New York, where he will be held. There still remains much to be told, and I look forward to the day that I can share the truth.

Cohens quasi-righteous appeal for the nation to heal itself is nothing new. Since he began cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation, Cohen has painted himself as a victim of Trumps charm who actually, in fact, as it so happens, is opposed to everything the president stands for. While testifying before the House Oversight Committee in February, he labeled Trump a racist, a conman and a cheat who essentially swindled him into carrying out his misdeeds for a decade. Take it for what you will.
His claim that there still remains much to be told is also nothing new. Last month, Cohens attorneys sent a letter to congressional Democrats saying that their client had just discovered a new trove of documents that could assist ongoing investigations into the president. Cohens prison sentence would need to be substantially postponed, however, so that he could sort though the new documents and pick out what could be helpful to Democrats. They didnt bite, but that doesnt mean the book has been closed on Trump being held accountable for his alleged role in Cohens crimes.
