A former Donald Trump lawyer was jailed with a warning: "There is still a lot to say"

Michael Cohen, a former Donald Trump lawyer, said Monday that "there is still much to be said" just before entering prison to serve a three-year sentence.

"There is still a lot to say. And I look forward to the day when I can share the truth"After leaving his home in Manhattan, he told the press his intention to travel to the federal prison in Otisville, New York State.

Cohen, 52, was sentenced in December for avoid taxes, lie in Congress and pay two women for not talking about alleged relations with Trump.

Cohen worked for the Trump Organization for a decade and insists that all the acts that he is accused of have been committed at the request of the president, who is willing to stay in power even if he loses his bet on a second mandate in 2020.

"How is it that I am the only one?" He asked in an interview with New Yorker. "I did not work for the campaign. I worked for him. And why am I the one who goes to prison? I'm not the one who slept with the bad star"He added, referring to Stormy Daniels, one of the women who received money secretly and in violation of electoral laws.

Since mid-March, the New York prosecutors have rejected Cohen's repeated offers to provide more information about the crimes allegedly committed by Trump and his badociates, defense attorney Lanny Davis told AP. "Why do not you want to see him, what can you lose with that? He's about to go to jail," Davis asked. Cohen's legal team contacted prosecutors in March to request a "frank discussion" about reducing their sentences through their cooperation. The meeting never took place.

Cohen started publicizing himself as an alert launcher three months after the FBI raid on his home and office.

In July, in an interview with the channel ABC He said that he had stopped being loyal to Trump and had hinted that there would be "more to tell." Davis disclosed a recording in which Trump and Cohen talked about clandestine payments to both women.

The lawyer is so far the only person convicted for a scandal of illegal payments to the bad star Stormy Daniels and the Playboy model Karen McDougal, in exchange for not revealing, during the 2016 election campaign, his alleged love story with Trump. Since the intention was not to affect presidential aspirations, it is considered that this should have been recorded as an election campaign expense, but this was left out.

How is the Otisville Prison

It is a federal prison located 110 kilometers from New York City where the white-collar criminals can serve their time by playing petanque and savoring the rugelach of Jewish sweetness.

His teammates behind bars will be the former Jersey Shore star Michael "The situation" Sorrentino and the fraudster of the Fyre festival, Billy McFarland. Among the prison inmates are also the accountant Kenneth Starr, accused of defrauding celebrities such as actress Uma Thurman, former president of Cendant Walter Forbes and the former governor of Connecticut John Rowland.

The site has its attractions. Some 115 inmates sleep in bunk beds lined up in barracks-style rooms instead of single cells or two inmates, as in high security prisons. There are lockers for storing personal effects, washing machines and dryers, microwave ovens for heating ice machines.

Otisville is the favorite of Jews imprisoned for their Kosher meals and religious services. It also has recreational facilities such as tennis courts and exercise equipment. It seems that the federal penitentiary system is the closest to the weekend camps for children.

Forbes once clbadified Otisville between "The 10 most comfortable prisons in the United States"But former employees and former inmates point out that this is not exactly a" federal club. "Inmates serve their time and are separated from family and friends, except for occasional visits.
