Cough break -

As suggested by Trump to Mulvaney, "if you're going to cough please leave the room. You just can't you just can't cough boy oh boy." "I don't like that you know I don't like that". "Let's do that over".

Always smoke outside, and bring a friend. :-)

It's a cliche that defense lawyers signal their testifying clients they are giving a bad answer by coughing.

When a client starts giving bad but usually truthful answers, their lawyer may start coughing harder and harder to create a cough break.

It's so common that judges will warn defense lawyers about a cough break.
Donald Trump's chief of staff Mick Mulvaney used a cough break to signal Trump "hey, shut up about possibly releasing your tax returns."
