Michael Cohen doesn’t like that he is going to prison and not President Trump.
“You are going to find me guilty of campaign finance, with McDougal or Stormy, and give me three years—really?” Cohen said in an interview published in the New Yorker. “And how come I’m the only one? I didn’t work for the campaign. I worked for him. And how come I’m the one that’s going to prison? I’m not the one that slept with the porn star.”
Cohen also commented on his personal feelings towards the president.
“I actually enjoyed him, interestingly enough. When he’s good, he’s great. When he’s horrible, he’s the worst human being on the planet. I mean it. He has no heart and no soul when he’s mean,” Cohen said.
Cohen entered a plea deal last year which gave him a three-year prison sentence for his involvement in setting up hush-money payments during the 2016 presidential election campaign for Trump. The payments Cohen arranged included $130,000 in October 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels and $150,000 in August 2016 by American Media Inc. to former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
He testified before Congress in February, telling the House Oversight Committee: “I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience.”
