Sounds like Costello's testimony may have blown up Bragg's case.
Indeed.
Soros-Funded DA Alvin Bragg May Have Hidden Exculpatory Evidence in Trump Case

The situation is alarming but not entirely surprising, given what we already know about DA Alvin Bragg. However, things might actually be even worse than previously thought, because Bragg may have deliberately hidden exculpatory evidence from the grand jury. According to Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett, it appears that the Bragg may have suppressed hundreds of pages of evidence that could potentially exonerate President Trump in this case.
“I mentioned it yesterday, I think, when Bob Costello got into that grand jury room and told them, ‘Wait a minute — you don’t have the hundreds of pages I handed over to Alvin Bragg over here? You only have six cherry-picked documents?’ You know, hiding from grand juries exculpatory information is reprehensible and unconscionable,” Jarrett said Tuesday night. ...

Memos from 2018-19 shake up Trump case: Cohen denied having incriminating evidence on hush money

(Costello) said his documents showed Cohen took out a bank loan known as a HELOC — on his own — during the 2016 presidential election to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 under a nondisclosure agreement so she would remain quiet about her alleged relationship with Trump. Cohen bragged he kept the situation quiet so that Melania Trump and Cohen's own wife wouldn't learn about it, Costello said in an interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast, recounting what he said Cohen told him back in 2018.
"He said," Costello recalled, "'I didn't believe the information, but I knew that this was a situation that would cause embarrassment. So I negotiated with this lawyer, and we worked out a an NDA ... for the payment of $130,000.'
Whatever Cohen's thinking at the time, this evidence shows that Cohen was acting on his own initiative. And Bragg has withheld this evidence from the grand jury.
