Tacopina told NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d show on Wednesday morning that \u201cThis case is going to fall on its merits, on legal challenges, well before we get to a jury, if we get to a jury.\u201d This comes after Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records. Trump pleaded not guilty to all the charges.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Tacopina shared that his team would submit motions to dismiss the case in the upcoming days. In an interview with CNN, the lawyer explained that he doesn\u2019t believe that there is any law that applies to this case. He added that DA Alvin Bragg is going too far by prosecuting a federal election crime as a local prosecutor.<\/p>\n<p>Tacopina was questioned in his \u201cToday\u201d interview regarding President Trump&#8217;s comments on Judge Juan Merchan and Bragg. Tacopina replied that he is laser-focused only on the legal case and not the PR actions of the former president or his social media consultant. He stated, \u201cI mean, that\u2019s a relevant factor. It\u2019s not an attack on the judge or certainly his family. No one is suggesting that anything should happen to the judge or his family and President Trump\u2019s comments did not in any way, shape, or form incite violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are speculations surrounding Merchan imposing a gag order on Trump amid the charges against him. Critics say that such a move will have a chilling effect on the 2024 presidential race as Trump is currently the lead GOP candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in another interview with CBS News, Tacopina described the unsealed indictment as &#8220;very vanilla,&#8221; and asked &#8220;What\u2019s to hide?&#8221; Tacopina also explained that the indictment &#8220;did not list the underlying crimes he allegedly intended to cover up with false business records.\u201d Tacopina stated on the \u201cToday\u201d show that \u201cUnderstand, these false business record entries, which are not even false, are misdemeanor counts\u201d for which \u201cthe statute of limitations is long gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the district attorney\u2019s office accused Trump of arranging payments to two women, Stormy Daniels and another, to hinder publication of alleged affairs before the 2016 presidential election. Trump denied all allegations against him. Hours after his arraignment, an appeals court ordered Daniels to pay Trump $122,000 in legal fees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5171468\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/04\/04\/id5171468-2023-04-04T171923Z_1_LYNXMPEJ330RI_RTROPTP_4_USA-TRUMP-1200x849.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Former U.S. President Donald Trump departs from Trump Tower on the day of Trump\u2019s planned court appearance on April 4, 2023.
