Cohen pleaded guilty to eight felonies, including two campaign-finance violations, and admitted making the election-related payments in coordination with and at the direction of the federal candidate identified as Trump. He also admitted tax evasion and a false bank statement. Cohen's admissions established his guilt; Trump was not charged in that federal case and disputed Cohen's credibility.

Cohen reported to FCI Otisville to begin the three-year term imposed for tax, bank, campaign-finance, and congressional false-statement offenses. Before entering, he again criticized Trump.

Cohen completed the three-year sentence after serving roughly a year in prison and the balance in home confinement, with the brief July 2020 remand reversed by court order. Completion ended custody and supervision under that sentence; it did not vacate his guilty pleas. Cohen said he would continue cooperating with law-enforcement investigations involving Trump.
