So, say you're an attorney who decides to testify against a former client and assert he did all manner of bad things. What happens when your former attorney then testifies against you? Well, we're about to find out.
On Wednesday, while the trial of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan was on its regular break, Robert Costello, the attorney who formerly represented Michael Cohen (who himself formerly represented Trump), testified before the House Judiciary Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Government:
Costello, once the deputy chief of the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office' prestigious criminal division, alleges in his prepared testimony obtained by Just the News that Cohen repeatedly insisted that Trump had done nothing wrong when he was debriefed in 2018 while federal prosecutors were investigating whether Trump violated any election laws in 2016. Ultimately, federal prosecutors chose not to bring charges.
In the following clip, Costello testifies that much of Cohen's recent court testimony directly contradicts what he was saying in 2018. Full Article and Clip @ Red State

Robert Costello, an attorney who advised Cohen after Cohen was hit with federal charges in 2018, testified before the House Weaponization Committee on Capitol Hill Wednesday during the same week Cohen has been testifying against his former boss in a Manhattan courtroom.
Costello, a former federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, explained he is able to discuss his interactions with Cohen because he "waived the attorney-client privilege and the duty of loyalty of a lawyer to a client." Fox News
