....for various finance-related crimes.

I can't find anything about Russian collusion in these charges.

No, that’s why those were farmed out to SDNY. The charges related to Russian activity were part of the plea deal reached with Cohen for providing false testimony to Congress.

"After cheating the IRS for years, lying to banks and to Congress, and seeking to criminally influence the Presidential election, Cohen's decision to plead guilty -- rather than seek a pardon for his manifold crimes -- does not make him a hero," prosecutors for the southern district wrote.

In its filing, Mueller's office says that Cohen took "significant steps" to help the investigation and has accepted responsibility for his crimes. It argues any sentence he serves should run concurrently.
