Joe Tacopina, the attorney representing former President Trump, said Sunday he expects a motion to dismiss the as-yet-unknown charges in the indictment voted last week by a grand jury in Manhattan in the hush-money case. rice field.
Tacopina said the legal team has not yet seen the indictment, which remains sealed, but will “analyse” it to determine how to move forward.
“We will prosecute. We will analyze it. The team will consider and challenge all potential issues we can challenge. I am very much looking forward to the coming of the Union.”
“I really don’t know what brought us here,” Tacopina said, claiming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “committed a misdemeanor and attempted to make it a felony.”
Trump was indicted last week for allegedly organizing a hush payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. He is now the first person to be held criminally responsible as a current or former president of the United States.
Bragg’s office said Thursday it had been contacted to coordinate Trump’s surrender, and the former president is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. “I hope it will become a thing,” he said.
