Ex-Trump lawyer: Claim Biden was behind hush money case ‘ridiculous’
by Sarah Fortinsky - 06/03/24 8:52 AM ET
Former President Trump’s ex-attorney, Joe Tacopina in a Sunday interview strongly pushed back against claims that Trump’s New York hush money case was a result of the “weaponization” of the justice system.
“This is a state case. This is different than the Jack Smith cases, OK? This is not a federal prosecution. Joe Biden or anyone from his Justice Department have absolutely zero to do with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. They have no jurisdiction over him. They have no contacts with him. They have no control over him,” Tacopina said in an interview on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” with Rev. Al Sharpton
“So to say that Joe Biden brought this case is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard. We know that’s not the case. And even Trump’s lawyers know that’s not the case,” he added.
