Former advisor Robert Costello took the stand in Donald Trump's New York trial, where he refuted Michael Cohen's claims, calling them a 'big fat lie.' Costello's testimony followed Cohen's admission of stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization.
Former federal prosecutor Trey Gowdy, who was present at the trial, expressed concerns about the judge's perceived bias towards the prosecution. He noted instances where objections from the defense were sustained while those from the prosecution were overruled, creating a challenging environment for the defense.
