Former President Donald Trump's attorney Joe Tacopina told CNN Sunday that he's expecting to file a motion to dismiss the charges from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's probe.
James Trusty, attorney for former President Donald Trump, discusses pending criminal charges from Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and what these charges mean for the U.S. justice system.lawyer said Sunday he expects to make a motion to dismiss any charges brought by a Manhattan grand jury in District Attorney Alvin Bragg's probe.
"Whether you send the right or the left or you're a supporter or detractor of Donald Trump, this should really bother you," Tacopina said."This should really shake the core of what we believe our justice system should be about. It should not be weaponized to go after political opponents." The details of the indictment have not been released, as they typically remain under seal before the arraignment takes place. The charges are expected to relate to Trump's 2016 alleged hush money scandal, which the Manhattan District Attorney's Office has been investigating for five years.
Tacopina said he did not have details yet on Tuesday's schedule but said he does not expect Trump to make a"perp walk" and isn't sure if the former president will take a mugshot either.
