# Defense calls Robert Costello

The defense said they wanted to call **Robert Costello**.

Judge **Juan Merchan** asked the jurors to step outside. “Again, I do wish that we had discussed this earlier,” Merchan said, “Let me hear your objections again, your concerns.”

Trump attorney Emil Bove responded that the testimony would be offered to rebut the government’s argument about a supposed “pressure campaign” from Trump.

“There’s no mystery here,” Bove said, saying they’d notified prosecutors about an intent to call Costello days prior.51s ago15.42 EDT
