NEW York: Michael Cohen, the former lawyer, media attack dog and all-around fixer for President Donald Trump, is scheduled to begin serving a three-year prison sentence on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) for crimes including campaign finance violations related to hush-money payments made on Trump’s behalf.

Cohen faces a 2-p.m. deadline to report to the Federal Correctional Institution, Otisville, a federal prison in the countryside 70 miles (113 kilometers) northwest of New York City. A minimum-security prison camp there has become a haven for “white-collar” criminals.
