Trump's Lawyers Engage in Public Feud Amid Legal Battles.

Some of Donald Trump's lawyers have privately criticized co-lead defense attorney Joe Tacopina as "dumb" and a "loudmouth" following the former president's indictment by Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg. Tacopina has a history of representing high-profile clients and securing hard-to-land wins, but has also had some high-profile flameouts. Tacopina has become a more familiar face on cable television, defending Trump's denial of paying off porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair. Some of Trump's lawyers and advisers have warned the ex-president that he should be careful with Tacopina, and that he cannot trust the attorney's loyalty.
