Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina was asked to address the former president denying a $130,000 payment made to Daniels to buy her silence over an alleged affair

“So is it the truth? Of course it’s not the truth. Was he supposed to tell the truth? He would be in violation of the agreement if he told the truth. So by him doing that he was abiding not only by his right’s but Stormy Daniels rights,” Tacopina said. “I would advise my client to do the same thing.”

Trump is facing a potential indictment regarding his role in the payment, which was made through his former attorney Michael Cohen at the former president’s direction. Cohen was reimbursed for the payment through his own legal fees. Federal investigators found that the timing of the payment, which was made to Daniels shortly before the 2016 election in an effort to stave off a potential scandal, could potentially constitute an illegal campaign contribution.

When Melber questioned Tacopina regarding the potential illegality of the payment, Tacopina responded

Truthfully, she should be paying him. Oh no, she had sex with a President and now she thinks she should get money for it Lol!! As if it was unwillingly. What if Brad Pitt had sex with her! If anything, she should pay him. Lol!! Brad shouldn’t give her a penny! Same with Trump!

This balloon head does know they are not making a sequel to Goodfellas

TheBeatWithAri This lawyer is going to be fired before the indictment comes down. He’s done turn a terrible service. You always get what you pay for and I’m sure Trump hasn’t paid him nor will he. 🤣

RS still obsessed with Trump. 🤣🤣

TheBeatWithAri He made a clean argument that the money was paid to Cohen. Of course TFG is guilty, but by reasonable doubt? Idts

TheBeatWithAri Mob Boss attorney who will play him in the movie 👎

AriMelber 'That's not a lie.' (Full 7 min.) Joe Tacopina joins MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber on “The Beat” as criminal charges against Trump are “likely” ac to NYT

AriMelber Looks like a mobster himself.

Why is no journalist asking Tacopina if there was indeed an extortion by Stormy, why wasn't it reported to police or FBI at the time or in the 6 years since? If this 'attorney' comes back on MSNBC, I pray they ask him this.

TheBeatWithAri Can the DA pierce the stormy Daniels NDA?

AriMelber So it's not a lie unless it's under oath?

AriMelber 'Lies aren't lies' Joe Tacopina

AriMelber Wait until he recognizes that he’ll never get paid his legal fees. 😂

AriMelber Impressive fast talker, have to say.

AriMelber Check out how many of Trump’s lawyers have defended Mafia clients…

AriMelber Does he know Trump is NEVER going to pay him?

AriMelber Making Attorneys Get Attorneys (prof MM). Any credible attorney would see that light in the tunnel is an actual train speeding on the track. Hence cannon fodder. Couldn't happen to a better buch. Madness Maga Madness GQPDomesticTerroist

AriMelber A crooked lawyer for a crooked client! Nothing new. The Mafia Organization have employed these type of lawyers for years!

AriMelber Joey Tapioca

AriMelber A whole new world awaits, where only 'lies told under oath' are lies: 'perjury'. Other lies are not lies at all.... Wow. Just wow.

The defense that it's not a lie if it's not under oath rates right up there with Nixon's it's not illegal if the President does it.

AriMelber Before Tacopina even opened his mouth, he was giving off strong ‘sleazy mob boss lawyer’ vibes.

AriMelber He really should rerun some tape of Bill Clinton who lied about having sexual relations with that woman. You can lie to the press but when you try and under oath it’s a big deal.

AriMelber LOL at this picture.

AriMelber Trump defrauded his voters by using campaign funds to pay hush money to women to suppress information HE thought would prevent him from being elected.

AriMelber Twas a beautiful piece of television and one of the reasons why I love TheBeatWithAri
