In a letter to lawmakers Thursday, Cohen’s attorneys say he has discovered substantial files on a hard drive that could be helpful to investigations into the president.
The hard drive is said to include over 14 million files, which consist of all e-mails, voice recordings, images and attachments from Cohen’s computers and phones, his attorneys Lanny Davis, Michael Monico and Carly Chocron wrote.
“To date, Mr. Cohen has located several documents that we believe have significant value to the various congressional oversight and investigation committees,” Cohen’s attorneys wrote.
In exchange, Cohen is seeking congressional help to persuade the Southern District of New York to allow him more time before reporting to jail so he can review the files. He is also asking for a reduced prison sentence, while he “is fully cooperating with prosecutors and Congress.
