With a little more than a month to go until he is slated to report to prison, former Trump fixer Michael Cohen is asking House Democrats to help keep him out of the big house. If any lawmakers were to write such a letter, it could be useful if Cohen petitioned the court to delay his prison report date. At a hearing this past February, Democrats questioning Cohen pushed an unproven theory that Trump, along with his family, could be compromised by the Russians. And, a top House Democrat told Fox News that Cummings, the Democrat oversight chair, probably would make a perjury referral. New York prosecutors previously advocated for a tough sentence, saying the crimes were serious and that the help Cohen had provided to ongoing investigations wasn't as valuable or as complete as Cohen had claimed.
