Do you expect anything else when the defense put up their witness? I wonder how the jury reacted to this?

Norm Eisen said they noticed. Not sure what Costello was trying to prove but it failed. Cohen described him as shady and he proved the point.

Judge upholds objection to Costello answering a question

Costello exclaims, “Jesus”

Judge leans over: “I’m sorry?”

Jury gets it, some raise eyebrows, shake heads

Over on Faux News

“I think after last week’s cross-examination, Michael Cohen’s credibility as a witness had already pretty much been eviscerated,” Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Zack Smith told Fox News Digital in a phone interview. “If there were any lingering doubts in the minds of any jurors, I suspect today’s testimony was even more damaging.”

And a 2nd article - well, basically the same article and instead of updating, they create a 2nd BOMBSHELL story.

They had 3 people contributing to their live blog. Shows you how they can’t stack up to our Jos!
