U.S. president’s former fixer faces a 2 p.m. deadline to report to a Federal Correctional Institution
In this May 4, 2019, file photo, Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, is confronted by members of the media as he heads back to his Park Avenue apartment in New York. Cohen has until Monday afternoon, May 6, 2019, to report to a federal prison where he'll begin his three-year sentence. Cohen is the only person charged in connection with hush-money payments to women who allegedly had affairs with Trump.
Cohen was originally scheduled to start his sentence in March, but a judge granted a two-month delay so he could recover from surgery and get his affairs in order. Cohen also pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about a Trump Tower project in Moscow, as well as to charges of tax evasion and bank fraud.
“There’s no free time to work on your book, or whatever,” said former employee Don Drewett. “You get your downtime when you’re supposed to be sleeping or when you can exercise, but that only happens at certain windows of the day. It’s not where in the middle of the day you can just opt to not go to work and go work out. That’s not the way that works.”
