Trump Lawyer Joe Tacopina Withdraws Ahead of Ex-President's Criminal Trial – The Messenger
Joe Tacopina, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, has pulled out of representing the former president in the criminal trial he faces in New York City, according a report in the New York Times.
Tacopina also withdrew from representing the former president in a separate case — his appeal of the court's decision finding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
A Trump spokesperson did not specify why Tacopina withdrew from representing the former president.
"President Trump has the most experienced, qualified, disciplined, and overall strongest legal team ever assembled as he continues to fight for America and Americans against these partisan, Crooked Joe Biden-led election interference hoaxes," spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.
