I don’t want probation I want Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump to be held accountable for his crimes. Michael Cohen got 3 years in prison for the same crime and unlike Treason Trump he was remorseful and respectful.
The probation interview is required by the court as part of the former president’s pre-sentencing report.
@treefrog@lemm.ee also had a good quote from the article providing more info as well.
The name “probation interview” is a poor one. Sentencing hasn’t happened yet and this interview is standard operating procedure to collect relevant information about the convicted party so that the judge can make an informed decision during sentencing.
That’s incorrect. The charges were different, and a few of Cohen’s were more severe (higher class felonies).
Cohen pleaded guilty to 5 counts of tax evasion, one count of making false statements to a federally insured bank, one count of causing an unlawful corporate contribution, and one count of making an excessive campaign contribution.

Well, I don’t know how "respectful” he was, but he did show acts of contrition. And he certainly did behave himself in court as a witness.
