Robert Costello, an attorney who formerly advised ex-Trump 'fixer' Michael Cohen, joined 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' after his public comments and Cohen's MSNBC interview.
"I wanted him to look me in the eye and assess my credibility," he said."Did I have more credibility than Michael Cohen? Because Michael Cohen, in my opinion, was lying about just about everything."
"Now what he's saying is, I'll lie, cheat, steal, shoot somebody. I will not spend a day in jail," Costello said to host Tucker Carlson."Do you think a guy whose mentality is that is going to not admit that he has information on Donald Trump? But having said that, the DA's office didn't ask me questions to bring that up, and I brought it up anyway.
In Cohen's interview with MSNBC, the onetime Trump counsel conversely slammed Costello over similar public comments made following his afternoon appearance in New York. He also said he was indeed"incredibly distraught" in the referenced meeting with Costello, saying it was in part because until that time he had only had one run-in with law enforcement in his life: a 1985 speeding ticket while driving back to college.
