In an explosive congressional hearing, Robert Costello, a former legal advisor to Michael Cohen, unleashed a torrent of accusations claiming the ex-Trump fixer has embarked on a vindictive «revenge tour» by lying repeatedly about him during dramatic testimony in Donald Trump’s criminal trial. Appearing before the House Weaponization Subcommittee on Wednesday, Costello delivered a scalding rebuke of Cohen’s credibility, asserting, «virtually every statement he made about me is another lie.»
He vehemently denied Cohen’s claims that he conspired with Rudy Giuliani to dangle a presidential pardon to keep Cohen silent about alleged Trump misconduct by saying, «took a foolish step by lying that he had evidence that Rudy Giuliani and I had conspired to obstruct justice by dangling a pardon for him to keep his mouth shut about Donald Trump. That was totally false and utter nonsense.» Costello said all this to the panel, portraying Cohen as a desperate man driven by bitterness over his legal woes and disbarment.
