Legal experts predict challenges in Trump hush money case.

Donald Trump's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, predicts that the hush money case against the former president will be dismissed without going to trial in New York City. Tacopina plans to attack the Manhattan indictment in pretrial motions on several grounds, including arguing that the business records charges are, at best, misdemeanors. Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments to his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to reimburse him for a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump argues that he is being prosecuted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, as part of a broader effort to harm Trump politically.

New York City lawyer Joseph Tacopina, who has been defending former President Donald Trump on TV, has faced two lawsuits accusing him of unethical behavior and malpractice. One of his former clients, disgraced former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik, accused him of disclosing privileged communications to federal prosecutors in a separate tax evasion case brought against Kerik.

Trump's Lawyer Defends Remarks on Imminent Arrest as Based on Rumors.

Donald Trump's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, has admitted that the former president's claims of an imminent arrest were based on rumors and leaks from the Manhattan district attorney's office. Tacopina denied that Trump had invented the claim, but rather assumed it based on the leaks. The Manhattan investigation into hush money payments to Stormy Daniels is the most advanced of the multiple legal threats currently facing Trump. Trump has placed the case at the forefront of his 2024 presidential bid and has been furiously fundraising on the back of what he calls a "witch-hunt" against him.

Trump's Lawyer Promises Surrender if Indicted in New York.

Former US President Donald Trump's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, has said that Trump will surrender to face criminal charges if indicted by a Manhattan grand jury. Trump is under investigation for his company recording a reimbursement to his former personal attorney Michael Cohen for $130,000 he gave porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to keep her quiet about an alleged sexual tryst with Trump. Trump denies having sex with Daniels and has condemned the probe and other criminal investigations he faces as partisan witch hunts.
