While testifying before a House committee on Wednesday, Robert Costello, a lawyer who previously represented Michael Cohen, spilled the beans on a number of things that seriously damaged the unprecedented “hush money” case against Donald Trump.
Among the things he revealed included the allegation that Cohen told him “I swear to God, I don’t have anything on Donald Trump."
Costello criticized Cohen’s testimony on the stand as “full of lies,” stating “I read Michael Cohen’s testimony from yesterday’s trial in New York on the way down on the train and virtually every statement he made about me was another lie."
Costello also revealed that Cohen reportedly told him he didn’t believe Stormy Daniels’ claim about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, and said that Cohen worried about the story being embarrassing to Melania Trump if Daniels went public with it. Costello said Cohen told him the money for Daniels was obtained through a Home Equity Line of Credit to conceal the source of the money. By contrast, Cohen claimed in court that Trump signed the check given to Daniels.
Costello blamed Cohen turning against Trump on him feeling “betrayed” for not being offered a White House job.
