The morning after he angered Donald Trump’s hush-money trial judge by making comments on the witness stand and glaring at the jurist, an attorney called as a defense witness was grilled by prosecutors about his 2018 emails after the feds raided ex-Trump fixer Michael Cohen’s properties.

Robert Costello was called as a witness by the defense in an attempt to push back on Cohen’s testimony about a “pressure campaign” involving Trump allies after the feds raided the disgraced fixer’s home, office, and hotel room in connection with tax evasion, bank fraud and campaign finance violations — crimes Cohen later admitted he committed ahead of the 2016 election at the direction of “Individual-1,” Trump, to cover up the defendant’s sexual encounter with porn star Stormy Daniels.
