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.

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. :-)
