During the ongoing trial at 100 Center Street, a significant development unfolded this morning as Robert Costello, a defense witness, faced cross-examination by the prosecution. The prosecution aimed to challenge Costello's credibility, as the defense had called him to undermine the credibility of Michael Cohen, a key figure in the trial.
Cohen had testified about feeling pressured by Costello to remain loyal to former President Donald Trump. Allegations suggested that Costello sought to establish a back channel to Trump. In response, the prosecution probed Costello's claim that he had Cohen's best interests at heart, not Trump's, following the FBI's raids on Cohen's properties.
