1/ Trump called for a “full and complete� sentence for Michael Cohen after his former lawyer asked to not be sent to prison. Cohen’s lawyers argued that his cooperation with Robert Mueller warranted a sentence of “time-served.� Cohen was also in “close and regular contact� with White House staff and Trump’s legal team while preparing his statement to Congress about Trump’s efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 campaign. In seeking leniency, Cohen’s attorneys claim his false statement to Congress was based on Trump and his team’s attempts to paint interactions with Russian representatives “as having effectively terminated before the Iowa caucuses of February 1, 2016.� Cohen’s attorneys, however, say he had a “lengthy substantive conversation with the personal assistant to a Kremlin official following his outreach in January 2016, engaged in additional communications concerning the project as late as June 2016, and kept [Trump] apprised of these communications.� Cohen is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12 after pleading guilty to tax evasion, making false statements to a bank, campaign finance violations, and lying to Congress.

2/ Trump praised Roger Stone for not cooperating with Mueller, tweeting that it’s “nice to know that some people still have ‘guts!’� Stone said Sunday that there’s “no circumstance in which I would testify against the president.� Stone has denied multiple times that he knew WikiLeaks was going to release hacked emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

3/ Kellyanne Conway’s husband accused Trump of witness tampering after Trump praised Stone for vowing to never testify against him. “Witness tampering: File under ‘18 U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512,’� George Conway wrote, listing the federal criminal statute about “tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.� (New York Post)
