Click here   Michael Cohen, Trump's fixer, sentenced to three years in prisonA federal judge in Manhattan sentenced President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen to three years in federal prison on Wednesday. Cohen previously pleaded guilty to numerous criminal charges related to lying to Congress and violating campaign finance law through paying hush money to women who allegedly had sexual affairs with Trump. Cohen, 52, faced two separate cases ― one from U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and another from special counsel Robert Mueller’s office ― covering a range of criminal offenses. “I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to: the personal ones to me and those involving the president of the United States of America,” Cohen reportedly told the judge before his sentencing. He said he had been living “in a personal and mental incarceration ever since the day that I accepted the offer to work for a real estate mogul.”   WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?The National Enquirer has flipped on Trump, admitting to federal prosecutors that “its principal purpose” in paying former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal $150,000 ahead of the 2016 election “was to suppress the woman’s story so as to prevent it from influencing the election.”Google CEO Sundar Pichai had to explain to members of Congress at a House Judiciary Committee hearing why googling "idiot" brings up a picture of Donald Trump.Five Democrats saved House Republicans from an embarrassing floor defeat Wednesday, voting with the GOP on a rule that blocks a vote on U.S. involvement in Yemen ICYMI
