A lawyer for Michael Cohen said Wednesday he planned to seek a reduction in the former Trump attorney’s three-year prison sentence for lying to Congress and other crimes, claiming Attorney General William Barr acted in bad faith when dealing with his client.
In a flurry of filings late Wednesday afternoon, Roger Bennet Adler cited Cohen’s cooperation with the government and asked U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley of the Southern District of New York to take a “second look” at the 36-month sentence, which Cohen began serving in in May.
