Cohen Atty.: Robert Costello’s Testimony ‘Backfired’

EXCERPT:

PERRY: "Look, it sounds like he was asked a very simple, basic question, and he answered, and then that was immediately dispelled on cross-examination. So I think, you know, this whole notion that he was sent in by Trump and that he was back-channeling with Rudy Giuliani and Trump, he said, no, even though he had the receipts, he had seen the emails, he himself had sent the emails. So I thought it was just a strange gambit and I thought it — I certainly thought it backfired and I certainly thought it bolstered Michael‘s testimony that he never trusted this guy. And I think the jury saw, in full force, why he didn‘t."
