F<\/span>ormer US President Donald Trump<\/a> has been arrested and charged with 34 counts of business fraud<\/a> in a Manhattan court. Trump has assembled a legal team to defend him in the case which includes three attorneys: Todd Blanche, Susan Necheles, and Joe Tacopina. Let’s take a look at each member of his legal defense team.<\/p>\n

1. Todd Blanche<\/b> <\/p>\n

Todd Blanche is a leading white-collar criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor. Blanche, who has been hired as Trump’s lead counsel in the case, represented Paul Manafort, a former campaign chairman for Trump who had faced similar charges. Blanche was able to successfully employ a double jeopardy argument in the Manafort case to get the judge to drop mortgage fraud and other related charges against him. <\/p>\n

2. Susan Necheles<\/b><\/p>\n

Susan Necheles is an “outstanding defense lawyer” who has represented high-profile clients, including Trump’s Organisation in a tax fraud case. Chambers USA, the “gold-standard” of attorney ratings, praised her as capable of \u201crabbit-out-of-the-hat results.” She has also previously gained media attention for representing a convicted Mafia underboss.<\/p>\n

3. Joe Tacopina<\/b><\/p>\n

Joe Tacopina first represented Donald Trump in a civil case against columnist E. Jean Carroll’s sexual assault lawsuit. The Brooklyn-born attorney has represented a host of high-profile clients, including several baseball players, New York police officers, and celebrities. However, Tacopina has become controversial due to his frequent media appearances. Critics have labelled him a “loudmouth” and \u201c such a frickin’ idiot\u201d. Tacopina has defended himself against the criticism, saying that his results speak for themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In summary, Trump’s legal team is made up of experienced lawyers with a reputation for defending celebrity and high-profile clients in high-stakes cases. <\/p>\n
