President Donald Trump reacted to the news on Friday evening that the federal prosecutors have recommended a “substantial” prison sentence for his former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Trump tweeted, “Totally clears the president. Thank you!”
Totally clears the President. Thank you!

The president opted not to elaborate on how he thinks the documents exonerate him.
The Manhattan prosecutors came down with their recommendation for Cohen, 52, who pleaded guilty in August to tax evasion, bank fraud and illegal campaign contributions on Friday. (RELATED: Prosecutors Recommend ‘Substantial’ Prison Sentence For Michael Cohen)
Cohen’s attorneys were seeking a sentence of time served for his cooperation with the New York investigators, as well as with the special counsel.
