An attorney for former President Donald Trump is calling for an investigation into the Manhattan district attorney's office, as prosecutors consider ain connection with a 2016 alleged"hush money" payment to an adult film star.

The prosecutors"weaponized" their office, Tacopina wrote,"scouring every aspect of President Trump's personal life and business affairs, going back decades, in the hopes of finding some legal basis — however far-fetched, novel or convoluted — to prosecute him." The letter was sent days after Trump was invited to testify before the grand jury investigating a $130,000 wire payment to Stormy Daniels, the adult film star whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. Such invitations to the subjects of investigations often indicate a charging decision is near.Monday morning, Tacopina said Trump has"no plans" to participate in the grand jury.

Cohen is cooperating with, and encouraging, the probe and has had more than half a dozen hours-long meetings with prosecutors in the last two months. He is testifying before the grand jury Monday, two sources familiar with the matter have confirmed.by former Manhattan Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz, who for a year beginning in February 2021 led the office's investigation into Trump.

3 indictments coming possibly 4? Stormy Daniels hush money scheme. Mar Largo stolen document's. The plea for 11801 votes in Geirgia. January 6th insurrection. That will keep that pos busy for the rest of his miserable life

People are paid for NDAs all the time this and a bag of chips gets you a bag of chips

The Banking system is safe and secure like our borders. Is that right Joe Biden ! Our borders are not secure. So it’s time to pull my money out of the bank is that what I’m hearing!

That's not how investigations work. Why publish this nonsense.

Is this about Stormy Daniels again? Why not put her name in the headline? Why only refer to her as an adult film star?

That's their one and only defense...investigate the prosecutors for political motives?🙄

hahaha you don't let up. Why do you focus on an ex prez? To avoid calling out the current 4AM 81 mil votes one? And his son? And the Twitter files proving election interference?

You can ask for it. BUT YOU CAN NOT DEMAND IT

Put her back in charge of the jury😂😂😂

I hate Trump with the passion and I wish that he would go away ,like the kadashians,but he is not. nothing is going to happen to him

Trump is good investigate the people that are investigating you sue the people that are suing you blame the people that are blaming you

CBSNewYork I still say RICO will be the best way to get these crooks.

Of course, the government (house), will add one more of 45's grevinces to the other thousands they have already undertook. And stop doing government business for Americans, not that they are even capable.

Please, do not feed the trolls.

This isn't going to help him or change what's about to happen. Not one bit.

Last ditch effort. 😁😂

Durham needs something new to keep himself busy.

Trump's attorney will have plenty of time to argue this at trial (assuming the lawyer can make it that long without being paid.)

I’m so sick of all the realDonaldTrump suck ups, dragging along with him, holding up GOOD, ETHICAL investigations into his criminality. Every one of these lawyers should be disbarred for their lying & obstruction of justice.

Trump’s go to: demand the investigation of the investigators! Yawn 🥱

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to testify before Manhattan grand juryMichael Cohen is expected to testify Monday before a grand jury in New York that is hearing evidence of former President Donald Trump's alleged role in a hush payment to Stormy Daniels, sources familiar with the matter told ABC. Was he the one already convicted of lying? Or is that someone else? You mean the guy who wrote the agreement & signed the check with NONE of Trump’s signature anywhere? Interesting 🧐
