During recent testimony, Michael Cohen revealed that he never informed Robert Costello about Donald Trump's involvement in the American Media Inc. payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal or Cohen's payment to Stormy Daniels. Cohen explained that he did not trust Costello and was still loyal to Trump at the time.
Cohen expressed his concerns, stating, 'I believed based upon all of our conversations that he would immediately run back to Mr. Giuliani and that communication would be divulged to President Trump.'
The revelations shed light on the complex relationships and dynamics within Trump's inner circle during the time of the payments to McDougal and Daniels. Cohen's testimony provides insight into the level of caution and mistrust that existed among key figures involved in these controversial transactions.
