NEW YORK — -- Bob Costello, an attorney who previously advised former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, told reporters his former client has a"lie, cheat, steal" mindset after Costello testified for the defense Monday before the Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump's role in the hush payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is mulling whether to charge Trump with falsifying business records, after the Trump Organization allegedly reimbursed Cohen for the payment then logged the reimbursement as a legal expense, sources have told ABC News. Trump has called the payment"a private contract between two parties" and has denied all wrongdoing.
Costello testified for about two and a half hours, during which he said he described an initial meeting with Cohen during which Cohen was"talking to us while pacing like a wild tiger" and vowing"to do whatever the f--- it takes" to avoid prison.
