But Tacopina, speaking to George Stephanopoulos on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday, shrugged off the criticism. “Do I think it’s a Jewish newspaper? Of course not,” said Tacopina.
When asked why he should tell the client on the contrary, Tacopina said, “You’re meeting me, George, right?”. and he added: I am his advocate, but I am myself. I’m not his PR person. I am not a spokesperson. He wrote down his opinion and, as it was, quite frankly, I do not criticize what he feels.
Trump is expected to appear before Merchan for arraignment on Tuesday. His indictment remains sealed, which means the specific charge is not known. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg investigated a payment made before the 2016 presidential election to Stormy Daniels, an adult-film actress, to keep her from publicly discussing the meeting she said she had with Trump years earlier.
Tacopina told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday when Trump makes his first court appearance Tuesday afternoon, “We’re going to say very loudly and proudly, ‘Not guilty.'” The Washington Post reported on Friday that the former president plans to fly to Berlin on Monday ahead of his surrender on Tuesday. And Trump announced the 2024 campaign will speak on Tuesday night from Mar-a-Lago, his Florida home, shortly after 8 pm Eastern.

Vance, a former district attorney in Manhattan, told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “And I think that maybe we think it might not be the strongest, when you add a count like that, put it in front of a jury, it can change the judge’s mind about the severity of the case that you’re looking at.”
Tacopina, speaking on Twitter, said there was no evidence that Trump’s business records were falsified, and former attorney Michael Cohen called Trump “a convicted pathological liar.” Vance, who initiated the review of this case when he was still a district attorney, appeared to defend Cohen’s faith: “Often in criminal cases we find that the witnesses who are involved are not necessarily, you know, priests or.

James M. Trusty, a lawyer representing Trump in a federal case over the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and in a Georgia case over that state’s alleged interference in vote counting, said Trump in Manhattan was “political persecution.”
Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Faith said the “commonality” among Trump’s cases is that prosecutors are “pushing the envelope legally that they’ve decided to attack the person” rather than “actually following the evidence.” He also warned the faithful that once “you let the genie out of the bottle in a new way of accusing, it will not come back by itself.” It will be a problem for generations.
