>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the overnight news. i'm jericka duncan. disgraced lawyer and convicted felon michael cohen once said he'd take a bullet for donald trump. but the president's long-time fixer was singing a different tune in federal court as a judge sentenced cohen to three years in prison for what he called a smorgasbord of federal crimes. they include tax evasion, lying to congress, and paying hush money on the eve of the election to silence two women who claimed they had affairs with mr. trump. paula reid reports. >> mr. cohen, any comment? >> reporter: michael cohen arrived at federal court in new york this morning surrounded by his family. the president's former attorney fought back tears as he told the

judge, today is the day i get my freedom back, and described working for president trump as mental and physical incarceration. but judge william pauley described his crimes as a very tabl smorgasbord of fraudulent conduct. he said somewhere along the way cohen lost his moral compass before sentencing him to 36 months in federal prison. as the sentence was raid, cohen shook his head in disbelief. cohen's father a holocaust survivor, said he felt dizzy. the court appearance was the culmination of two criminal cases. last month he struck a separate deal with the special counsel's office agreeing to cooperate with the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 campaign and pleading guilty to lying to congress. cohen has provided the most direct evidence to date that ties the president to criminal activity. >> mr. president, did you direct michael cohen to commit any violation at all? >> no, no, no. >> reporter: he told

investigators then candidate trump directed him to payoff porn star stormy daniels and karen mcdougal who alleged affair with mr. trump. prosecutors revealed today american media, the company that owns the "national enquirer," admitted to coordinating with cohen and making a $150,000 payment to mcdougal to suppress her story so as to prevent it from influencing the election. today at the white house, president trump kept his back to the camera as reporters asked about his former personal attorney. >> mr. president -- >> reporter: mr. trump's current personal attorney rudy giuliani was more than willing to sound off on the proceedings. he told cbs news, michael cohen lied in court today. he said his greatest mistake was loyalty to trump. what loyal difficult? the judge ordered cohen to start serving his sentence on march 6. >> protests continued at the michigan state househere tre vote today tie the hands of the incoming democratic governor. the gop is also working to kill

several recently approved ballot proposals. dean reynolds is there. >> reporter: demonstrators crowded the michigan capital this afternoon. >> i think that they are trying to take away our vote. >> reporter: opposing moves by republican state house majorities to limit the authority of just elected democrats. similar power plays in wisconsin have faced the same reaction. both states have republican governors for a few more weeks, and they are being urged to sign a series of bills before incoming democrats can veto them. all designed to give legislators greater say in things like campaign finance oversight, the timing of early voting, and redistricting. michigan's retiring governor rick snyder is noncommittal. >> do you think it's the right way to operate for a lame duck session to try to put limits on incoming duly elected office holders? >> people should not expect that

i'm just going to sign things or i'm just going to veto things. >> reporter: gretchen wittmer replaces him. >> they would not have done this if they won the race for governor. they don't want me to be successful. they don't want me to lose the chance to direct the agenda. >> reporter: wisconsin's defeated republican governor scott walker said the controversy was all hype and hysteria, but a leading gop legislator said he simply didn't want incoming democratic governor tony evers to enact policies in direct contrast to what many of us believe in. here in michigan, governor elect wittmer said this will help to energize the democratic base in elections to come. the voters, she said, understands the meaning of sour grapes. >> despite a decade of economic expansion, millions of older americans find they just can't

downsized their house and life-style, but still have a mortgage they can never payoff. the average american over 65 lives in about $4,100 a month. with his walmart checks, their social security, and his partial pension, tom and ellen coomer live at around $3100 a month. more than a thousand dollars less than the national average. is this the retirement that you imagined? >> no, no. >> reporter: tom's wife of 63 years has four heart blockages and diabetes. he calls her every break. >> i just wanted to check on you and remember i'll be in a little after 11:00. never get her out of my mind. had her too many years. i can't afford to lose her. have a good day. >> reporter: tom coomer worries he'll never be able to afford retirement. >> he likes to work and needs to work. but i feel guilty, too, because he's having to work at his age. >> it hurts me that i can't do

divisive for the purposes of his own political success. >> he might say that himself. i mean, i think that's self-evident. >> reporter: so when people say he's a little rough around the edges, he has some tweets you may not like, but he passed tax cuts. there's no real cost to his rougher side of his nature. >> i speak out because, yes, i do think there is a cost. i think there's a cost to our young people throughout the country. i think there is a cost to just the way people are relating to each other. >> reporter: do you think he'd -- you'd be able to speak out if you were running for reelection? >> to be in tennessee, critical of the president on the republican side, especially one that has captured the base in the way that he has, would be bad for your health. >> reporter: is that the pressure all your colleagues you leave behind face? >> i've been told by candidates who did run in campaigns this year that no one asked them about any issues to speak up. on our side of the aisle, no issues. they want it kno

>> reporter: is that healthy? >> i don't think it's healthy, no. >> reporter: but senator corker does see certain advantages. >> the unorthodox nature of the trump presidency has some -- in some ways caused people to be closer on each side of the aisle, in some ways. still, vast differences in policies. >> reporter: what makes them closer? >> well, it's sort of like everybody is in the same boat, right? >> reporter: the same boat, but he says still unable to take a hard vote. >> united states senators don't want to cast a tough vote -- >> reporter: on the fiscal crisis facing the country. >> here's what happens, john. somebody will have -- i don't want to vote. if we have to vote on that, then i have to take a position on it and we're hired to vote. express yourself. >> reporter: it used to be the deficit was the conversation. it was the center piece, it was the focus, and it seems to have gone silent. and this has some real cost. >> we spend the entire year

working on this appropriations process, which deals with 35%, let's say, of what we spend as a nation. and we don't spend a single day on the rest of it, which is what is going to be our undoing, right? not a day is spent on it. that's what you call majoring in the minors. it's just not on the american people's mind, and it's sad, we're harming the next generation. the greatest privilege -- >> reporter: a crisis senator corker now won't be in the senate to help confront. as he returns home here to chattanooga. do you know exactly what you're going to do now? >> i do not. >> reporter: is the political active office stage of your life over? >> i will not rule anything out at this time. >> reporter: would you rule something in? >> i know every person thinks every senator wakes up in the morning and thinks they're looking at the next president. i don't do that, i don't. i do, though, think about it sometimes. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
