Emails Reveal Back Channel Between Costello, Cohen, Giuliani, Trump

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

In a recent court session, Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger presented emails between Robert Costello and Michael Cohen as evidence. The emails shed light on a potential back channel communication within the Trump legal team.

One email from Costello to Cohen dated April 19, 2018, mentioned Rudy Giuliani joining the Trump legal team. Costello expressed the usefulness of his relationship with Giuliani, hinting at its potential benefits for Cohen.

Cohen interpreted Costello's message as a signal to reinforce the concept of a back channel. According to Cohen's testimony, the back channel involved Costello communicating with Giuliani, who would then relay information to President Trump.

The revelation of these emails raises questions about the nature of communication and coordination within Trump's legal team. It suggests a potentially intricate network of connections and channels through which information may have been shared.

As the legal proceedings continue, prosecutors are likely to delve deeper into the implications of these communications and their impact on various aspects of the case. The emails introduced into evidence provide a glimpse into the inner workings of the Trump legal team during the period in question.

With the spotlight now on these emails, further scrutiny and analysis are expected to follow as the legal process unfolds. The significance of the back channel communication highlighted in the emails may have far-reaching consequences on the case and the individuals involved.
