In a letter filed in a Manhattan federal court Friday, Cohen wrote that federal prosecutors were “using innuendo, conjecture, and inaccurate opinions as a basis for urging the court’s denial of the pending motion.”

He added that prosecutors who oppose reducing his prison sentence from three years to one are engaged in a campaign of “character assassination” and that they “stubbornly” refuse to note the gravity of the more than 170 hours of testimony he gave to multiple government agencies as well as congressional lawmakers.

Cohen is currently serving his sentence in a federal prison in Otisville, N.Y., after pleading guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations and lying to Congress, among other charges. He officially began his sentence in May.

Prosecutors argued in their own court filing that the evidence Cohen offered did not include substantial enough information to warrant such a reduction.
