Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen heads to US prison

After dramatic appeals and testimony in Congress, Donald Trump's one-time personal lawyer Michael Cohen was due to report to jail yesterday to serve a sentence he deems unjust because he was simply following his boss's orders. The long time Trump admirer who once said he was ready to "take a bullet" for Trump is awaited at the federal prison in Otisville, New York by 2:00 pm (1800 GMT). He was sentenced to three years in prison in December, after admitting to having paid hush money during the 2016 election to two women who said they had had affairs with Trump -- in violation of electoral laws -- having committed tax fraud, and having lied to Congress.
