The testimony by attorney Robert Costello at former President Donald Trump's criminal trial is aimed at discrediting the prosecution's star witness, Michael Cohen.

Under cross-examination by prosecutor Susan Hoffinger, Costello walked through a series of emails he sent to Cohen over a course of several months in 2018. Many of them referenced Costello's conversations with Giuliani, Trump's newly named personal attorney, including one in which Costello says he can be a 'back channel' to Giuliani. In another, he told Cohen he was 'loved' and has 'friends in high places.

'I think that's reasonable to conclude,' Costello said, noting he didn't remember specifically. Hoffinger then brought up an email Costello sent to Jeffrey Citron, his law partner, in May 2018: 'Our issue is to get Cohen on the right page without giving him the appearance that we are following instructions from Giuliani or the President.'On the stand, Costello said they were trying to 'get everyone on the same page, because Cohen had been complaining incessantly.
