Cohen reached the plea deal with Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Cohen pleaded guilty to a single count of lying to Congress about a Trump Tower development project in Moscow, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan.
Federal prosecutors said Cohen lied when he submitted a Aug. 28, 2017, letter to the Senate and House Intelligence committees.
