Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen tells congressional Democrats he has new information and is asking for their help postponing his prison sentence
Cohen's attorneys Lanny Davis and Michael Monico told lawmakers in a letter Thursday that Cohen has discovered substantial files on a hard drive that might be helpful to investigators. Cohen is asking for additional time, and congressional help to persuade the Southern District of New York to allow him to postpone reporting to jail in order to review them.
"We hope that this memorandum demonstrates that Mr. Cohen needs to be readily accessible and immediately available to provide ongoing assistance to Congress in order for it to fulfill its executive branch oversight responsibilities. Mr. Cohen was only recently able to access a hard drive with important documents," it states.
