doesn't sound like perjury to me since it was a statement from Cohen (that the prosecution didn't push back on):
Costello pushes back on notion that he was personally excited about representing Cohen
Rudy Giuliani "wasn't in the picture at all" at the time that he met with Michael Cohen, Robert Costello said.
Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger pushed Costello to say Cohen would be a big get for his firm at the time. Costello after a pause said, "I would say no I didn't want him as a client."
Hoffinger challenged Costello, saying that he would've been happy to announce Cohen as his client.
Email records show on April 20, Costello sent an email to his son about representing Cohen.
Costello's son responded to the email congratulating him.
Costello testified that the quote in the email to his son was a statement Cohen intended to release at the time, pushing back on the notion that he personally held any excitement about representing Cohen.
Here's more on Costello representing Cohen:
"I didn't know Michael Cohen from a hole in the wall," Costello says before he met him
Robert Costello reviews an email string between his partner Jeff Citron and Michael Cohen. He is cc'ed on the chain.
Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asks him if he was hoping to represent Cohen.
Costello responds, "I wasn't hoping anything, it wasn't my email."
Costello says it arose from his partner's longtime relationship with Cohen.
"I didn't know Michael Cohen from a hole in the wall," Costello says
Hoffinger asks, "So you weren't hoping to represent Michael Cohen?"
"No, I wasn't."
Costello says he met with Cohen "because Jeff Citron made an arrangement with Michael Cohen, and he asked me to come along" because Citron was primarily a real estate lawyer, Costello says.
Hoffinger asks if it was a "high-profile" case for him?
"Probably, yes," Costello responds.
