The facility is a minimum-security prison located just 70 miles northwest of Manhattan, where the now-disbarred lawyer and his family live.
Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen will begin a three-year prison sentence on Monday at a federal prison in upstate New York for a slew of crimes he committed while working for the president.FCI Otisville has a reputation for being a preferable prison facility for inmates who have been convicted of white-collar crimes. Cohen has been sentenced for tax violations, bank fraud and campaign finance violations.
In fact, Cohen requested to be sent to FCI Otisville when he appeared in court for sentencing in mid-December 2018. The judge agreed to recommend the facility, though the ultimate decision on where offenders carry out their sentences is made by the Bureau of Prisons. Cohen served as Trump’s loyal “fixer” for more than a decade, once saying he would take a bullet for the president. But he quickly turned on his former boss during the Mueller investigation and earlier this year testified before Congress that Trump was a “racist” and a “cheat.”
