Cohen describes 'pressure campaign' using 'spyish' language to get him to cooperate

Cohen disclosed the details of a 'pressure campaign' to get him to cooperate.

It was the backdoor deals and coersion that led to him turning on President Trump, despite years of loyalty, he explained.

He was describing an email communication with Costello where he didn't state Trump's name outright.

Cohen told the court that the reason behind that was 'to be covert.

'It’s all back channel, spyish. Didn’t want to put in anybody’s name,' he went on.

Cohen continued to detail correspondence with Costello who said Trump and Guiliani were trying to throw him under the bus.

'If you are really believe you are not being supported by your former boss, you should make your position known,' Costello advised Cohen.

'This is part of the pressure campaign,' Cohen said in court.

'The president still supports you, do not listen to what the journalists say and stay in the fold. Don’t flip, don’t speak, don’t cooperate.'
