A lawyer called to testify behind closed doors in New York on Monday may challenge the claims of a key witness before a grand jury decides whether to charge former President Donald Trump over hush money paid to a porn star
Robert Costello has been asked to appear before the grand jury at the request of Trump's lawyers because he may have information that calls into question events as described by Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, the source said.
Trump's call for protests overshadowed the start of a three-day Florida retreat for Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives. No U.S. president, while in office or afterward, has faced criminal charges. Trump, who is seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has said he would continue campaigning even if charged with a crime.
The grand jury will determine whether there is sufficient evidence to formally charge Trump with a crime. The proceedings are not public. Trump has denied the affair with Daniels happened and called the investigation by Bragg a political persecution. "It's building a lot of sympathy for the former president," said Sununu, a relative moderate, who is considering his own presidential run and appeared to be trying to avoid alienating Trump supporters.
