Adam Reiss is a reporter and producer for NBC and MSNBC.
A lawyer who has clashed with Donald Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen — and whom the judge overseeing the hush money case scolded for disrespectful behavior on the witness stand — will resume his testimony Tuesday as possibly the final witness for the defense in the first criminal trial of a former president.
Cohen testified in his four days on the witness stand that he'd lied to Costello because he didn't trust him, in part because he was also representing Rudy Giuliani, a close Trump ally. Cohen and Costello have taken repeated public jabs at each other in the years since then. “If they want to go after Donald Trump and they have solid evidence, so be it. But Michael Cohen is far from solid evidence,” Costello told reporters after he testified before the grand jury in the case last year.
