Prosecutors say Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, should serve a substantial prison term with a modest amount of credit for his cooperation.
Cohen is scheduled to be sentenced next Wednesday in New York federal court.
Last week, Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress. In August, he admitted to campaign finance fraud and bank frauds, among other charges.Â
Prosecutors say Cohen gave investigators information about attempts by Russians to reach Trump's campaign.
Court papers say Cohen described speaking to a Russian national who claimed to be a "trusted person" in the Russian Federation and proposed a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The person offered Trump's campaign "political synergy" and "synergy on a government level." The person wasn't identified by name in the court documents.
Cohen has pleaded guilty to federal charges, including lying to Congress about negotiations he had on Trump's behalf for a real estate deal in Moscow.
Mueller's prosecutors say Cohen went to "significant lengths" to assist their investigation.
