Paul Ingrassia: BREAKING: There has been an extended back and forth between the Defense, Judge Merchan, and the Prosecution over Robert Costello’s impending testimony, resulting in delays.

Cohen has lied about everything, and now a credible witness says that Cohen told him from the start that he has no dirt on Trump. If he did he would have used it. Costello’s account may be the only honest words we’ll ever get from Michael Cohen. And what he told Costello was definitely an admission against interest, which is very credible.
