chuck todd “Meet the Press” Interview Tensions quickly rose with Donald Trump’s lawyer Joe Tacopina Sunday as the lawyer dodged questions about an insult hurled at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg by the former president, who may soon file criminal charges against him .
“Mr. Trump this week described Alvin Bragg as a ‘Soros-backed animal,’ said he was ‘doing the work of anarchists and the devil,’ called him a ‘degenerate psychopath,’ and called him ‘the reverse Soros. Racist’ said, ‘It’s the Gestapo.’ As his lawyer. Do you stand by those comments?” Todd asked.
Tacopina sidestepped the question, instead criticizing Bragg for planning to press charges against Trump for allegedly paying hush money to former adult film star Stormy Daniels in the final days of the 2016 presidential election, stating was that Americans “should be all concerned about the weaponization of weapons.” a prosecutor’s office.
Tacopina said, “I want to set this matter aside because this is a matter that should not be brought and brought to none other than Donald Trump.” “Let’s be clear about this. Does anyone really think left, right or middle that anyone else will be sued for seeking a civil settlement in a hush money case with personal funds? Absolutely not.”
Over the past week, Trump has repeatedly attacked Bragg and his office, promising “death and destruction” at a Saturday rally in Waco if he is prosecuted. Late last week, Trump wrote on his Truth social media platform that he expected to be indicted last Tuesday, although no such allegations were made by Bragg’s office that day.
When Todd pressed further, Tacopina said she believed the Truth Social post, which was removed after a photo of Trump holding a baseball bat next to Bragg’s head on Trump’s page, was “misadvised”. Granted, she said he was “not her social media” advisor.
“We’ve been through January 6th, so it’s not [just] There is a possibility that Trump’s rhetoric breeds violence. It has happened once. Aren’t you worried that this might happen [again], Todd asked.
“I am not accepting the proposition that his rhetoric created violence; I think there was street violence that day,” Tacopina said. “But I’m not here to discuss that, Chuck. I am not going to defend or condemn anything regarding social media. I don’t do that… I’m not a Trump PR person.
