When it rains, it pours.

Michael Cohen, who was Donald Trump's personal attorney, was sentenced to 3 years in prison today. Basically, the  SDNY believed that Cohen had not cooperated with them enough. This is in contrast to the Robert Mueller investigation,w hich said that Cohen had cooperated.

President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison on Wednesday, just days after directly implicating Trump in a felony stemming from hush-money payments to two women made just weeks before the 2016 election.

The sentencing marked the culmination of a months-long saga that began in April with a dramatic FBI raid on Cohen’s home and office and ended with Trump’s most loyal lieutenant and fixer—who once said he would take a bullet for his boss—turning against the president and implicating him directly in criminal misconduct. In Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, Cohen apologized to his family and to “the people of the United States.”...

New York prosecutors acknowledged that Cohen implicated Trump directly in the campaign-finance violations stemming from hush-money payments he made to the adult-film actress Stephanie Clifford—a.k.a. Stormy Daniels—and the former Playboy model Karen McDougal at the height of the election. The women had been planning to reveal that they’d had affairs with Trump more than a decade ago, which he denies. But Roos said on Wednesday that Cohen’s role in the campaign-finance violations was particularly “serious because of the tremendous societal costs,” and “in committing these crimes, Cohen has eroded faith in the electoral process.”

After initially denying he had any knowledge of the payments, Trump now says the payments were “a simple private transaction,” and that it’s Cohen’s “liability” if he made a mistake in carrying it out. Two other Trump associates who were involved in the payments—the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, and the CEO of American Media, David Pecker—were given immunity to testify about the scheme over the summer.
