Appointed by Bill Clinton

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected a plea from Michael Cohen for a sentence reduction as the coronavirus spreads across New York, where President Trump’s former lawyer is serving a three-year prison term.
In a two-page order, U.S. District Court Judge William Pauley appeared unmoved by Cohen’s latest sentence-reduction request and largely deferred to federal prosecutors who said the former fixer was “manifestly ineligible” for compassionate release.
“Ten months into his prison term, it’s time that Cohen accept the consequences of his criminal convictions for serious crimes that had far reaching institutional harms,” Pauley wrote.
Cohen has been incarcerated since last May at a minimum-security federal prison in Otisville, N.Y., some 75 miles northwest of New York City, following convictions for financial crimes, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress.
