A New York grand jury is convening this week to weigh criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.
, pleaded guilty, served prison time and was disbarred. Federal prosecutors never charged Trump with any crime.
Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen leaves after testifying before grand jury in Manhattan, New York City on March 15, 2023. "This is really trying to take the votes out of the voters’ hands because by indicting a candidate for the presidency," he said on GDNY.but has no plans to do so. "It’s actually a crime of extortion if someone is threatening you, saying if you don’t give me money I’m going to go public and embarrass you and your family … and that’s what he’s a victim of," Tacopina said on GDNY. "But it’s certainly not a crime to pay off someone in a civil settlement regarding a consensual relationship, which the president denies.
"I think [prosecutors are] holding out hope that a New York jury would never acquit Donald Trump … because he’s not popular in the city from a voter standpoint," Tacopina said. "I have a lot more faith in New York juries than that. I think people will do the right thing."
