Defense rests its case following Costello testimony
"You still have a lot of animosity against Michael Cohen," prosecutor Susan Cohen Hoffinger asked Michael Cohen's then-legal adviser Robert Costello after displaying emails from 2018.
"I don't have animosity but --," Costello replied before being cut off.
"Yes or no," Hoffinger said.
Hoffinger then asked Costello bluntly if he was trying to "intimidate" Cohen regarding his 2018 congressional testimony.
"Intimidate Michael Cohen?" Costello asked incredulously.
"Yes, that's my question," Hoffinger repeated firmly.
"Ridiculous, no," Costello responded.
Hoffinger then concluded her cross examination, which was followed by a brief redirect.
"Your honor, the defense rests," the defense team told Judge Merchan.
