Attorney James Trusty, who represents Trump in another probe, told CBS News that the New York case is 'ripe for motions.'
in 2016 voted to indict Trump, making him the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges. Trump, who has denied all wrongdoing and says he never had an affair with Daniels, is set to surrender to police and appear in court for the first time on Tuesday.
Trusty said any motions the Trump team files will be"well-founded," and predicted that"even legal scholars on the other side of the political aisle are going to recognize that it's a powerful motion." Further, Trusty said he thinks any charges involving an intent to defraud will be difficult to prove under New York law, and claimed there will be weaknesses in the case.
Trump's attorneys are still waiting to see the details of the indictment and the nature of the charge or charges, since it remains under seal.
