Former Michael Cohen advisor Robert Costello recently shared his insights on Cohen's testimony in the New York v. Trump trial. Costello revealed that during Cohen's prior criminal trial, he had expressed suicidal thoughts. In April 2018, Costello advised Cohen to provide information on former President Trump to potentially reduce his sentence, but Cohen claimed he had no incriminating evidence against Trump.
Costello mentioned that he has not been subpoenaed to testify by the defense. However, he expressed willingness to testify if called upon, citing himself as a reliable witness. He also speculated that even if Trump is convicted in the ongoing trial, the verdict might be overturned, possibly after the upcoming election.
Costello's perspective sheds light on the complex dynamics surrounding Cohen's testimony and the potential implications for the trial's outcome. His willingness to offer his analysis and testify if needed adds an intriguing element to the legal proceedings.
