During the trial, Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger questioned Robert Costello about his initial meeting with Michael Cohen at the Regency Hotel. Hoffinger asked Costello if they discussed how connected he was to Rudy Giuliani during this first encounter. Costello denied this claim, stating that he did not mention Giuliani during their first meeting but brought up the topic later on.
Costello clarified that while Giuliani was not discussed at the initial meeting, he did mention the former mayor at a later point in their interactions. Hoffinger then confirmed with Costello that Giuliani had attended his wedding.
