We’re talking Michael Cohen’s prison time, Theresa May’s Brexit future and the SAG Awards’ love for Bradley Cooper. Plus, a look at those we lost in 2018.
But first: What did everyone Google this year? The World Cup, Black Panther and Kate Spade.
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple crimes, including campaign finance violations, tax evasion and lying to Congress. Cohen, known for years as Trump’s fixer, is the first member of the president’s inner circle to be sentenced to prison, and it could have legal implications for Trump. « My own weakness was blind loyalty to the man that caused me to choose the path of darkness, » Cohen said before the sentencing. “Time and time again, I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds. » Cohen was also ordered to pay $1.4 million in restitution for taxes and fined $50,000. Cohen, who once said he would take a bullet for Trump, also cooperated with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team looking into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
