Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen sentenced to 3 years imprisonment

A three-year jail sentence has been handed down to Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen for his role in a scandal involving the US President.

Cohen was found guilty of breaking campaign finance rules, tax evasion and lying to Congress.
