That call was among several assurances Cohen says he received that the White House would have his back so long as he “stayed on message,” special counsel Robert Mueller said in his long-awaited report on his Trump investigation. The redacted 448-page document was made public Thursday. Cohen, 52, is set to report to prison next month to begin serving a three-year sentence after pleading guilty to crimes that included lying to Congress about a Trump Tower project in Moscow and arranging the payment of hush money to a porn star and a Playboy centerfold who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.
Cohen “believed he needed the power of the President to take care of him,” he told Mueller’s team, noting his legal fees were still being paid at the time by the Trump Organization.
