On Monday, May 20, Donald Trump's defense team in his New York election interference case decided, at the last minute, to call a surprise witness. It turned out that the surprise was mostly on them.
Robert Costello, an associate of Rudy Giuliani and someone Michael Cohen rejected as a possible legal advisor, was uncooperative and even contemptuous while on the witness stand. Costello, himself an attorney, foolishly insisted not only on openly disagreeing with the judge in the case, Juan ?Marchan, but even on challenging some of the judge's rulings.
Albeit without the jury present, Judge Marchan robustly chided Team Trump, which doesn't bode well for said team's chances of success in clearing their client.
