Does this make Costello more, or less, credible?Now Cohen's signed waiver agreement, which read "at no time did I sign a retainer or otherwise agree to retain Costello"—this would be a false statement? asks Bove.

Objection—overruled.
Yes, false, says Costello.
Costello says that he didn't tell Cohen about his closeness with Giuliani at the first meeting, but Hoffinger shows him his email in which he wrote "I told you my relationship with Rudy"—meaning, "I told you before."

That email speaks for itself right? says Hoffinger.

No there are surrounding circumstances about that email which I'd be delightfed to tell you, Costello answers.
No that's alright, Hoffinger says, getting a good chuckle from the gallery (which gets a "quiet" from an officer)
...in the press that Cohen didn't approve of.

Another email, 6/13/18 Costello to Cohen: "my friend has communicated to me that he is meeting with his client this evening," and asked Cohen if there's anything he'd like to convey to Trump via Giuliani.
As a lawyer, I’m wondering: Costello was representing Cohen? In what way? Sounds to me more like Costello was representing Trump. I don’t see how this evidence shows Costello ever even won Cohen’s confidence.These emails are Costello attempting to establish the Cohen-Costello-Giuliani-Trump backchannel in real time.

Costello just characterizes it as "getting everyone on the same page."

Because they had to cut their losses somehow.The defense has rested their case and once again Trump has chickened out of testifying after repeatedly promising to do so. Story …https://t.co/Oq8v3SHGUq

Trump: I’m restless. I have restless leg syndrome. Where the leg, it just moves, it never rests, it has a mind of its own. Not my mind, I have the greatest mind https://t.co/n3WGGlm9tz

The 300 million people who commit election fraud by falsifying business records involving the payment of hush money to porn stars. I guess…Trump: I’m fighting for 300 million people. It’s not like I like sitting in an icebox for 7,8,9 hours and it’s a very cold room pic.twitter.com/InBkBIwjGU

Patrick: What happens when the courts come after you because you said something that the ruling class didn’t like? That’s what these other countries are all about. They shut down the ruling class. They want to be sure that anyone who speaks up against ruling class disappears… pic.twitter.com/YGYXUlr6Q5

DAY 20: Trump's lone fact witness Bob Costello (warned for contemptuous side-eye, stares and eye rolls), was confronted with emails calling Cohen an "asshole" as the DA sought to undermine his testimony.
