Attorney Bob Costello turned into Michael Cohen during a House hearing Wednesday, hours after Trump’s former fixer called him “sneaky” and accused him of trying to set up a “backchannel” with then-President Donald Trump.
“I read Michael Cohen’s testimony in the trial yesterday in New York while I was on a train, and virtually every statement he made about me is another lie,” Costello told a House committee on the “militarization” of the government. .
The comments came alongside a fiery statement Costello issued, where he criticized the “legal war” he said was being waged against Trump, and wrote about meetings with prosecutors alongside Cohen.
Cohen ‘took a foolish step by lying that he had evidence that Rudy Giuliani and I had conspired to obstruct justice by offering him a pardon to keep his mouth shut about Donald Trump. “That was totally false and meaningless,” Costello said.
And he went after Cohen’s motive, in a possible preview of what Trump’s legal team has in store for him in a second day of cross-examination scheduled for Thursday in Manhattan criminal court.
