Robert Costello, the former legal advisor to ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen, appeared before the grand jury in the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation into former President Trump Monday, and testified that Cohen is a "serial liar."
Costello said he testified to the grand jury Monday that Trump did not know about the payments made by Cohen to Stormy Daniels.
"There can be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Michael Cohen has great difficulty telling the truth," Costello said. "He is, after all a convicted perjurer, and our track record with Mr. Cohen convinced us that he was a serial liar."
Cohen's statement came after Costello's press conference, in which he recalled a key interaction he had with Cohen in April 2018 at Cohen’s request.
"Michael was in a manic state. He told us that he had contemplated suicide, that he had been up on the roof of the Regency Hotel the weekend before, seriously considering jumping off because he couldn’t face the enormity of the legal problems he knew were coming his way," Costello recalled, reminding that, at the time, Cohen’s office and home had been searched by the FBI, but had yet to be charged with any crimes.

Lol
So somebody leaked the Grand Jury testimony? That really is a felony.
OK. Read the article, or part of it. Witnesses can say what they said before the GJ.
I got a feeling that it was Cohen that had the affair with Stormy and used Trump’s money to cover it up.
Since when does everyone hear grand jury into?
“ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen”
7-10 years ago he was on Hannity all the time. Loyally representing for Donald Trump. On Hannity TV too.
This rat bassturd Cohen is sick and schizo
Costello talking immediately afterwards, even him having been called, looks like a trial balloon to shut this thing down, maybe try to get Trump to plea on the misdemeanor instead and hope he rejects it, now that they aren't getting the perp walk.
There are Democrats in NY that want to see Boogums fail, and you need look no further than his primary opponent and her husband both who run in Kushner's circle of friends.
The Fourth Estate has always been a major player in politics. It has become even more more so by becoming a powerful part of FBI, DOJ, etc. Remember CNN and the FBI swat team at at Roger Stone’s house. Twitter, although not really a news outfit, before Musk was similar. In my opinion google and facebook and youtube are just as dangerous.
I marvel at the open disparity with the MSM reporting on the Trump case.
IF the situation was reversed, and a Conservative (Right-Wing) DA, from wherever, was going after a notable Democrat Politician...the MSM would couch each story by framing it as “The Right Wing DA” (or, “The Conservative DA”...)
But, with the stories about Trump, except for maybe Fox, all the rest of the MSM’s stories “just” say “NY DA so and so...” and would NEVER consider framing their story with “Liberal DA....” or, “Left-Wing DA...”
How fast & HOW far can DA back pedal????
Bragg===Soros stooge.
$$$$$$ no object
Has one planned Saturday in Waco, Texas.
BOTH bought & PAID for by SOROS
APPARENTLY-—Prosecutor tried to muzzle & restrain Costello’s answers to tightly worded questions.
He responded more fully than they wanted him to do—but he apparently told the Grand Jury WHY he was doing so.
OK that makes sense. Prosecutors didn’t know they were calling a defense witness. I guess it’s still possible the prosecutor sabotaged Bragg’s case intentionally to convince Bragg to get out of this while he still could. Who knows. I read that some of Bragg’s ADAs were not on board.
That so called lawyer has been corrupt from the beginning..
Has the question been asked if he did it instead of Trump.. to finally seal the fate of my President?
