Summary

As the only witness of consequence, Donald Trump's lawyers called Robert Costello to testify in Trump's defense. And if it wasn't bad enough that Judge Juan Merchan had to clear the courtroom for Costello's "contemptuous" behavior, the cross-examination of Costello (including with his own emails) also proved to be devastating to Donald Trump's defense.

Glenn discusses why most experienced criminal litigators know - it's really much better to put NO witnesses on the stand than to put on a weak or damaging witness in the case.
