Former Trump attorney Joe Tacopina on Sunday said that while there may be a “political bent” to some of the criminal indictments that former president is facing, it is “absolutely” possible that he could be convicted.
Tacopina, who withdrew from Trump’s legal team last week, was asked about the likelihood of a jury convicting the former president during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Politics Nation.”
“Is it possible? Absolutely,” Tacopina responded. “You have a jury of twelve who’s going to ultimately decide this.”
“Do I think there’s a political bent to some of this, the way it’s gone about?” he questioned. “Yes, I do. Do I think these cases are invalid cases? Look, a grand jury voted to indict. You can’t say there’s no way he’ll get convicted or no way he’ll be sentenced. You just can’t say that.”
Despite the numerous legal issues Trump is facing, he continues to lead in the polls for the Republican nomination for president.
