Trump Grand Jury Hears from Michael Cohen's Former Legal Adviser and Rebuttal Witness.
TL;DR
Robert J. Costello, a former legal adviser to Michael Cohen, appeared before a Manhattan grand jury at the request of Donald Trump's lawyers to undermine the credibility of Cohen, the prosecution's star witness. The grand jury is investigating Trump's involvement in a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels. Cohen paid $130,000 to buy her silence, and Trump authorized the payment. The prosecutors are expected to charge Trump with overseeing the false recording of the reimbursements to Cohen as "legal expenses" in his company's internal records.
