Attorney Joe Tacopina argued the Manhattan district attorney is navigating uncharted legal waters with a potential indictment of former President Trump.
But Joe Tacopina, Trump's attorney, told Sean Hannity Monday that thehas prompted a"heavy dose of disgust" among lawyers nationwide as prosecutors could try to argue Daniels' payment to a violation of campaign finance laws.
Tacopina noted Trump has denied he had an affair with Daniels"from day one," and even argued the former president was an extortion victim, citing the adult film star's intent to go public with the allegations prior to Election Day. "The crucial distinction is separating campaign funds from personal funds," Tacopina said."Could you imagine showing where we'd be tonight if President Trump had used campaign funds to make this payment? Oh, my God. They'd be calling for his scalp. Instead, he did everything the right way.
