In a recent legal proceeding, Trump attorney Emil Bove presented an August 2018 email to Robert Costello and Jeff Citron, in which Michael Cohen stated, 'Please cease contacting me as you do not and have never represented me in this or any other matter.'
During the proceedings, Bove directly questioned Costello about the veracity of Cohen's claim. Costello responded by stating that the assertion made by Cohen was false.
This exchange sheds light on a potential discrepancy regarding the legal representation of Michael Cohen. The email in question suggests that Cohen sought to clarify that Costello and Citron were not his legal representatives, despite their involvement in the matter.
Costello's denial of Cohen's claim raises questions about the nature of their professional relationship and the extent of legal representation provided by Costello and Citron. The conflicting statements from both parties highlight the complexity of legal proceedings and the importance of clear communication in attorney-client relationships.
As the legal proceedings continue, further details may emerge regarding the circumstances surrounding Cohen's assertion and Costello's response. The outcome of this dispute could have implications for the ongoing legal battles involving key figures in the Trump administration.
