Justice Merchan: Looks like evidence will end this week, with summations next Tuesday.
Prosecutors ask about Costello
Prosecutor Hoffinger: You didn't hire Mr. Costello, right? Cohen: I did not. I did not trust him; he kept invoking Mr. Giuliani and I felt anything I told him would go to Rudy then President Trump. Hoffinger: Is this your waiver of attorney-client in 2019? Yes. https://x.com/innercitypress/status/1792594256789385658
