NEW YORK — A criminal indictment against Donald Trump could drop as soon as Monday in the Manhattan district attorney’s criminal investigation into the former’s president’s hush money deal with a porn star — after the panel hears from who is likely the final witness.
The grand jury was scheduled to hear testimony from Bob Costello Monday afternoon — a veteran New York City defense lawyer who’s represented former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and right-wing strategist Steve Bannon. He’s appearing as a witness for Trump, a source with direct knowledge who asked to remain anonymous told the New York Daily News.
Costello is expected to offer testimony intended to undermine Michael Cohen’s credibility. Trump’s former fixer and now foe, who testified before the grand jury twice last week, on Sunday said during an MSNBC appearance that he had been called back to meet with DA investigators. He expects to rebut Costello’s testimony.
