Attorney Robert Costello Speaks Out after Testimony: “It Was Clear to Me the Manhattan Grand Jury Did Not Want to Get to the Truth” (VIDEO)
Michael Cohen’s former legal advisor Robert Costello on Monday attacked his ex client in front of the Manhattan courthouse.
Robert Costello on Monday appeared before the Manhattan grand jury investigating Trump’s so-called ‘hush payment’ to Stormy Daniels.
In January the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived its criminal investigation into Trump’s ‘hush payments’ to porn star Stephanie Clifford, AKA, Stormy Daniels and elevated the case from a misdemeanor to a felony.
Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Robert Costello said he appeared before the grand jury to set the record straight since Michael Cohen is a pathological liar.
Costello blasted Michael Cohen as a “convicted perjurer” in remarks to reporters in New York.
Recall, Michael Cohen was previously sentenced to 36 months in prison for lying to Congress, campaign finance violations and tax evasion charges related to his taxi medallion business.
“Michael Cohen is far from solid evidence,” Costello said.
One reporter asked Costello if he thinks he convinced the grand jury against indicting Trump.
Costello said he doesn’t know but he saw a few jurors shaking their heads “yes” agreeing with his assertion that Michael Cohen is a liar.
The prosecutors “cherry picked” 6 emails, Costello said.
Costello said Trump NEVER directed Michael Cohen to pay Stormy Daniels.

Robert Costello, the former legal adviser to Michael Cohen, spoke to Tucker Carlson on Monday night after he testified to Manhattan Grand Jury investigating President Donald Trump.
Costello told the FOX News audience that he testified for two hours in front of Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan Grand Jury.
Robert Costello told Tucker Carlson, “I spoke to the jury for two hours… It was clear to me the Manhattan Grand Jury did not want to get to the truth.”
Robert Costello: I just spent 2 hours or so testifying before the grand jury in downtown Manhattan, and I got my point across. Although it was clear to me that the Manhattan DA’s office did not want to get to the truth, I need to explain that a little bit. I called them up after I saw Michael Cohen on TV stating things that he said he was going to tell the grand jury and had told the grand jury that were contrary to what he told us when we first represented him in April of 2018. So I’m sitting at home watching these lies and I said I’ve got to do something about it. I don’t represent Donald Trump, but I do stand for justice. And I think I have a legal obligation to inform both sides. So that’s what I did.
Costello then told Tucker that Michael Cohen has a “lie, cheat and steal, mindset.”
Robert Costello: And I told them and told the grand jury today I was Deputy Chief of the criminal division of the US. Attorneys for the Southern District. I said I wouldn’t touch a witness like Michael Cohen for any amount of money. You simply cannot rely upon this guy.
