As Cohen testifies this week in Trump's New York trial, lawyer Robert Costello was accused of tampering by a Democratic congressman.
Robert Costello, a lawyer who once advised former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, is being accused of jury tampering in Donald Trump's hush money trial by a Democratic congressman.Costello appeared before the House Judiciary Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Wednesday as part of a hearing on 'the use of lawfare tactics to weaponize the rule of law.
Cohen told the court that Costello, who had close ties to former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, offered to act as a 'back channel' to the then-president. At the time, Cohen was under federal investigation for the hush money payment at the center of the Trump trial.'The back channel was Bob Costello to Rudy to Rudy to President Trump,' Cohen said on the stand. Because of that, Cohen said, he never told Costello about Trump's involvement in the hush money payment.
