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."

Why not just set the minimum wage equal to the highest income reported by any state resident, divided by 2,000?

'You are loved...Sleep well tonight,' Rudy's lawyer emailed Cohen during FBI probe

Cohen read aloud an email in which Bob Costello, an attorney for Rudy Giuliani, told Cohen "you are loved” amid a federal law enforcement probe.

“Sleep well tonight, you have friends in high places,” the email added.

Cohen was then asked what Costello meant by "you are loved."

"By President Trump," he testified.

Costello also spoke to Cohen about setting up a back channel of communication between Cohen and Trump during the probe, Cohen testified.
