Cohen was then asked what Costello meant by "you are loved."
"By President Trump," he testified.

Who is Robert Costello? Trump loyalist wrapped up in hush money case
By Tamar Lapin
Cohen testified that he was pushed to hire criminal defense attorney Robert "Bob" Costello -- a longtime Trump ally with ties to Rudy Giuliani -- following the 2018 FBI raid on his hotel room.
Costello, at the request of Trump's team, testified to the Manhattan grand jury that ultimately voted to indict the ex-president.
After his testimony in March 2023, Costello blasted Cohen -- the prosecution's star witness -- telling reporters his former client had a "lie, cheat, steal" mindset.
"I'm trying to tell the truth to the grand jury," Costello said. "If they want to go after Donald Trump and they have solid evidence, then so be it. Michael Cohen is not solid evidence."

Cohen huddles with family amid 'pressure' campaign
Cohen decided not to work with Costello, eventually hiring other lawyers.
He never told Costello about the Stormy Daniels matter, he said.
'I didn’t trust him. Meaning Bob Costello. And I still remained loyal to Mr. Trump,' he said.
Cohen ultimately decided to make his break after speaking to his family.
'My wife my daughter my son all said to me. Why are you holding on to this loyalty? What are you doing. We’re supposed to be your first loyalty,' he said.
Asked about his decision, he said he decided 'that it was about time to listen to them. To my wife my daughter my son and the country.'
By April he would plead guilty to crimes in federal court.
