“Brian, I think it’s very tempting for a defense attorney to call Bob Costello, because he could look the jury in the face and say, “This man, Michael Cohen, he’s lying to you.” , he swore to me to keep Trump alive.” This payment to Stormy Daniels, in the dark, was all his idea, he acted on his own, and his client There was no relationship,” Jarrett told “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade. “Contrary to what Mr. Cohen told the jury, Mr. Trump also confessed to his then-lawyer that his only interest was protecting his wife, not his campaign. This is the opposite of testimony.”
