Entering the courtroom, stage right is Mr. Robert Costello, he walks behind President Donald J. Trump making a left turned, walking ten more feet or so and making a button hook to sit on the witness stand.

Costello is wearing what appears to be a black (maybe navy blue) suit with a blue tie.

Trump Defense Attorney Emil Bove asking Costello where he works and his experience. Costello says he was an assistant US Attorney in the Southern District and ran the Criminal Division.

Bove asks if he knows Cohen.

After establishing further, Bove asks if it was understood that the attorney-client privilege was in affect for that meeting.

Simultaneously, Costello says yes as the ADA objects. The judge sustains and asks to strike it from the record.

Emil Bove is pointing out to Merchan that Costello will testify that there was no pressure campaign, in direct contrast to what Cohen testified to, and the basis of this case that the Soros funded DA has presented to the jury.

Merchan is pushing back on Bove now…this sadly is predictable and consistent with what Merchan has done the entire trial.

Bove saying part of what Mr. Costello is going to do is testify that some of what Cohen said at this trial was false.

Bove cites Cohen committing perjury, Soros funded DA interupts. Merchan says he’s going to take five minutes & “don’t leave the courtroom.”

Judge says Bove can have some latitude in questioning Cohen. It is somewhat narrowing, but it should also be narrowing for the Prosecution as well.

Now we await Robert Costello to take the stand…
