Trump's Lawyer Questions Cohen In Ongoing Legal Drama

Former U.S. President Trump's civil fraud trial continues, in New York

Former President Trump's lawyer is currently questioning his former attorney and self-proclaimed fixer, Michael Cohen. There is anticipation surrounding whether the Trump team will call Cohen's former legal advisor to the stand. Robert Costello, the legal advisor, has suggested that Cohen could have cooperated years ago when he was reportedly in a state of desperation to avoid jail time.

Costello claims that he repeatedly urged Cohen to provide any truthful information he had on Donald Trump and cooperate with the authorities. However, Cohen allegedly insisted multiple times that he had nothing incriminating to share about his former boss, then-President Donald Trump. Costello recounted that Cohen vehemently denied possessing any damaging information about Trump, despite his own concerns about facing imprisonment.

Costello described a tense exchange where he implored Cohen to consider cooperating if he had any relevant details on Trump. Cohen's adamant response, as per Costello, was a repeated assertion that he had no compromising information on the former president. Cohen allegedly expressed his determination to avoid incarceration at all costs, emphasizing his willingness to take any necessary action to evade jail time.

Despite Cohen's assertions, he eventually faced imprisonment, leading to speculation about his motives and allegiances. The ongoing legal proceedings have brought to light the complex dynamics between Cohen, Trump, and their legal advisors, adding a layer of drama to the courtroom proceedings.
