Michael Cohen holds a press conference outside his apartment building before his prison term on May 6, 2019, in New York. (AP)Michael Cohen took a last swipe at President Donald Trump while reporting to federal prison on Monday to start a three-year sentence for crimes including tax evasion and campaign finance violations related to hush-money payments made to protect his former boss. He got a slight jump on his prison sentence, arriving at the Federal Correctional Institution, Otisville, at around 11.45am, more than two hours before a court-imposed deadline. Cohen had fought to delay or reduce his sentence but failed in a last-ditch effort to convince federal prosecutors that his cooperation in various investigations related to Trump warranted leniency. But Cohen should avoid acting like he's still in spotlight, said Jack Donson, a former Otisville case manager who advises white-collar criminals on what to expect in prison.
