Takopin’s lawyer: Trump’s trial could be the hardest of his entire career

NEW YORK, April 4 – RIA Novosti. Lawyer Joe Tacopina told RIA Novosti that the case against former U.S. President Donald Trump may have been the “easiest” in his career, but risks likely being the most difficult given the political context.

“As you know, I have had many cases involving senior officials. In fact, and legally, this case is the least difficult. That is true … But unfortunately, many other factors are involved, such as politics. They (prosecutor – ed.) They want to break the rules to catch Trump – ed.). .

As the lawyer admits, if we consider the facts and the legal side of the matter, then the Trump case is “the simplest he’s ever had a chance to work out.” “However, unfortunately, it will probably be the hardest of my career,” Tacopina summed up.

Last week, a jury in New York voted to impeach Trump in the Stormy Daniels case. According to CNN, the former US president will be charged with more than 30 crimes, including those related to business fraudulent activities.

In January 2018, the Wall Street Journal published an article alleging that in 2006 Trump had an affair with actress Stormy Daniels and paid her $130,000 to keep quiet shortly before the 2016 presidential election. Trump has assured that he has no personal relationship with Daniels. Hill points out that the former president and his allies have repeatedly stated that the accusations against him are politically motivated. It was learned from media outlets that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg requested the appearance of the former head of the White House to testify on the merits of the charges against him.

Trump is expected to appear in New York court on Tuesday. The former president of the United States has previously urged his supporters to protest and “return our people” if accused.
