Special counsel Robert Mueller on Friday said President Donald Trump's former fixer and personal lawyer Michael Cohen made "substantial and significant efforts to remediate his misconduct," and help Mueller's ongoing criminal investigations.
Mueller also said he was not taking a position on what sentence Cohen should receive next Wednesday when he is sentenced for the crime of lying to Congress, which is the only charge to have been lodged against the lawyer by the special counsel.
Cohen is also due to be sentenced that same day to financial crimes and campaign violations lodged by federal prosecutors in New York, who have asked for a "substantial" term of imprisonment.
