Fox News begged for Robert Costello's testimony in Trump's criminal hush money trial. It was a disaster.

During the past week of former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial, Fox News has been clamoring for Michael Cohen’s former legal adviser Robert Costello to be called as a witness for the defense. Leading up to the testimony, Fox figures characterized Costello as “very likable” and theorized he could be the one to “put the nail in the Cohen coffin.”
But, as several mainstream media figures have noted, the first day of Costello’s testimony was a disaster — he was reportedly confrontational with Judge Juan Merchan, who admonished the witness both publicly and privately.
