Robert Costello, who advised Cohen in 2018 as he came under enormous pressure from prosecutors, told a Congressional committee that Cohen lied when he claimed Trump was personally involved in the hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels.
‘Michael Cohen Is on a Revenge Tour’: As Trump’s Ex-Fixer Faces Day Two of Brutal Cross-Examination, His Ex-Lawyer Slams Him as a ‘Liar’
The NY Sun, May 16, 2024:
Michael Cohen, the key witness in President Trump’s ongoing hush-money trial, whose testimony has not yet finished, is already being accused of lying by the lawyer with whom he consulted extensively in 2018 as his legal predicament deepened.
“I read Michael Cohen’s testimony from yesterday’s trial in New York on the way down on the train, and virtually every statement he made about me is another lie,” the attorney, Robert Costello said on Wednesday in an appearance on Capitol Hill before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
Mr. Costello gave Cohen legal advice in 2018, as Cohen was becoming entangled in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation targeting Mr. Trump.

New Evidence Reveals Michael Cohen Admitting ‘I Swear to God, I Don’t Have Anything on Donald Trump.’
By National Pulse, May 15, 2024
Disgraced and disbarred attorney Michael Cohen admitted to his former legal counsel, Robert Costello, that he had no evidence of crimes committed by former President Donald J. Trump. Costello told Members of Congress on Wednesday that his former client lied on the witness stand in the ongoing hush money trial against the former President.
“I explained that if Cohen had truthful information that would implicate Donald Trump, I could get him out of his legal troubles by the end of the week,” Costello told lawmakers. He added: “I emphasized that any information Cohen could give would have to be truthful, otherwise it was useless.”
Costello served as Micahel Cohen‘s criminal defense attorney before the serial perjurer accepted Lanny Davis’s counsel instead. According to his former attorney, Cohen repeatedly claimed that he had no evidence against former President Trump.
“Each time Cohen said to me: ‘I swear to God, Bob, I don’t have anything on Donald Trump,’” Costello recalled. He continued: “Cohen must have said this at least ten times because I kept coming back to it from different approaches.”
Cohen’s former criminal defense attorney said the disgraced lawyer was predominantly concerned with avoiding prison time. “Cohen kept on saying: ‘Guys I want you to remember, I will do whatever the F… I have to do, I will never spend one day in jail,’” Costello alleges his client to have told him. The statements by Cohen’s former defense counsel suggest that Cohen was and continues to be motivated out of fear of the consequences of his crimes and has been willing to lie to avoid punishment.
In another moment, Costello recalled Cohen telling him that he had stood atop the roof of his hotel and contemplated suicide as he thought he couldn’t handle the pressure of the criminal case against him. Costello said he asked Cohen, “isn’t it easier to cooperate against Donald Trump, than it is to kill yourself?” Cohen’s former defense attorney said that his then client’s answer was the same: “I swear to God, Bob, I don’t have anything on Donald Trump.”
