WEB Robert Costello, Defense Witness in Trump Trial, Scolded by Judge
Costello Represented Michael D. Cohen
Robert Costello, a well-known defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor, was scolded by a judge in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday for his conduct during the trial of former President Donald Trump. Costello was representing Michael D. Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, who is currently on trial for campaign finance violations.
Judge Cleared Courtroom for Reprimand
According to reports, the judge cleared the courtroom during the reprimand. Costello had attempted to question Cohen about his cooperation with prosecutors, an issue that the judge had previously ruled out of bounds. The judge stated that Costello's questions were "irrelevant and immaterial" to the case at hand.
