Michael Cohen’s former attorney trashed his testimony in Donald Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial earlier this week in Manhattan, describing his onetime client as a “habitual liar” who is “totally unreliable.”
Cohen, Trump’s former ‘fixer’ attorney who has since been disbarred and is a convicted perjurer, was criticized by prominent New York defense attorney Robert Costello, who is set to testify before the House subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government “that Cohen told his lawyers back in 2018 that he had concocted himself the hush-money scheme that Trump is charged with and had no incriminating evidence against the former president,” Just the News reported.
Costello, formerly the deputy chief of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office’s prestigious criminal division, claims in his prepared testimony obtained by Just the News that Cohen repeatedly asserted Trump had done nothing wrong during his 2018 debriefing while federal prosecutors were investigating whether Trump violated any election laws in 2016.
