Donald Trump's lawyer tried to argue that the former president didn't lie in the hush money scandal. And then moments later conceded that Trump lied in the hush money scandal. (via MaddowBlog)

soon after that this line of defense doesn’t really work, since an extortion payment would itself have been illegal.that this “defense” is effectively “a confession.”

Just so we’re clear, the former president’s lawyer literally tried to take a piece of paper from the host’s hand during the on-air appearance. to Stormy Daniels, who allegedly had an extramarital affair with the then-candidate. The host’s point was obviously correct: TrumpAfter being shown a clip of the then-president lying, Tacopina initially responded by emphasizing that Trump wasn’t under oath when he lied. That’s true, though it’s not a denial.

Not true

Absolutely untrue. Please for once try to report accurately.

Trump lied about everything. TRUMP IS TREASON. I BET HE ALREADY SENT CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS TO RUSSIA AND CHINA. NOW THEY WILL ATTACK AMERICA AND NO ONE WILL HELP AMERICANS

This is going to be good. Fed and federal election committee already has go at this.... You people are going to look like fools AGAIN.

Msnbc = government propaganda

Another nothing sandwich

If you try to get him on the big lie you'd have to arrest 25% of candidates and elected presidents. If you try to get him on a small one you can waste more taxpayer money for a circus even as other's did the same. Get money out of politics! Revamp the corrupt system.

That's not at all what happened. Lmao.

Evidently nobody at MSNBC understands non-disclosure agreements. Do you?

Hush money is not illegal, so who cares,

If MSNBC reports it, then it must be true…😉

The Scaramucci of Trump's lawyers?

Reminder 🔺MORE TRUMP INDICTMENTS TO COME!!!! Collusion Hush Money Tax Evasion Blackmail Attempted overturn of state election Attempted Coup to overthrow federal government Incited Insurrection Classified Docs

Leave the innocent alone and and drop the political motive no case charges, no matter what Soro’s orders.

Well he’s seems to be bad at his job

maddow is the propaganda queen my opinion

Sorry I can’t read or hear of Clinton doing the SAME crime while IN office. hypocrisy

I'm thinking we should schedule a snowflake party Wednesday morning close to the DC swamp so when they all melt again we can be rid of them cronic melters when they don't get their way! Po Lil fools, bless their Lil hearts ! Justsayin USA USA 🇺🇸

This is nothing but Democrat media mind manipulation tactics on the weak-minded uninformed democrat voters 🙄 🤔

I find it odd that Trump’s lawyer is struggling with this. I understood that Trump only employed the best people. 🤔

If you believe MAD COW you will believe anything . For the record how many times has claimed she had a “Gotcha” on Trump . In every case nada !! If she is your guru you need another guru ..

Elite pedophiles who raped underage girls run the world. Don't forget that. leakEpsteinsclientlist 🤡🤡🤡

😆😆😆idiot

Fox News Channel continued to crush basic cable last week while CNN had its worst primetime performance in three decades among the target demographic coveted by advertisers.

Liers and keep track of the lies they tell they always forgot what the lie was in the first place. Go figure a lawyer lying.

I remember when authorities said you could get covid by flushing your toilet.

He's OUT! DOJ will peek into his finances for money laundry, drug dealing with criminals, fixing criminal cases. He unethical as hell but he'll paid in the future, losing his law license to practice law in NYC. I'm just saying it's a cycle under Trump.

But you have a Biden who admitted they received 1 million dollars...but we ignor that

Trump won and the whole world knows!! That's what this is all about and you know it!!

Jacob Chansley walking into a door on Jan6, not coming through a window as msnbc is lying about. Here’s the proof

MSNDC the fake news media

When Trump heard about this tweet, Im going to jail

Trump team: He knew nothing about it. He knew about it and lied when he said he knew nothing about it, to protect the NDA. He arranged the payment so Melania would not find out about it. It was all Cohen’s idea and trump was not involved. Geez at least stick to one lie.

Hmm.

TrumpArrest

So after six years of promising us that Trump was gonna get indicted for treason, rape, tax evasion, whatever… they’re settling for this hush money to a pornstar shit? LOL

Since Joe Biden has been in office: 🍞Groceries are up nearly 20% ⛽️Gas is up 45% 💡Energy is up 37%

Ha! AriMelber would have made a fabulous prosecutor 😁

Fake news

Gotta love a never Trumper🤪🤪

Yet on a practical level and in front of a jury he could well be right.

What gets me is the complete double standard by the Left. Case in point: Bill Clinton. This is pure political retribution.

I will vote for Trump with determination and strengt TRUMP2024 TRUMP2024ToSaveAmerica

He hires only the best

If you google 'is Trump going to be arrested tuesday' Every link starts with 'Trump says' There is no creditable source. Trump the loser, is desperately trying to stay relevant in the news.

😏 Complicated.

They need to be charged with Perjury.

MSNBC's lawyer 😂😂😂😂

Lmao hush money to a porn whore is what you got him on🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're only making him stronger.

That’s no lawyer! That’s the cocaine bear!!!

Ever heard of a confidentialities agreement? You break it by talking the extortion continues.

I wonder if Trump feels framed.

How many Congress members have paid off accusers WITH TAX MONIES? Let's investigate them as well.

From the 1st impeachment:

So when did non disclosure agreements become illegal. Would be stunned if MSNBC does not use non-disclosure agreements.

Only the best!

Pathetic witch hunt

DemocratsAreCorrupt

BULLSH!T coming from the propaganda artists at maddow hey Rachel , when you were a young boy did you always have a dream to wake up everyday and make sure anything you said was provable garbage Even knowing it’s trash, you say it anyway

He sounds just a guilty as Trump

Keep talking...🙄

Well yeah that's his job

Who gets their info from MSNBC anymore?! They lost any semblance of credibility even for an old Democrat like me back in 2015🤣

'“Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime.”' - Lavrentiy Beria, head of Joseph Stalin's secret police.

No matter what you think. No matter what you believe. MSNBC is propaganda.

About the time the lawyer realized he wouldn't be paid.

This is why you are called fake news.

Interesting! Bill Clinton used his legal defense fund to pay off Paula Jones. Why isn’t he being tried in court?

This 'lawyer' is the definition of a mob mouthpiece.......

Once he was facing prison he flipped and tried to get his sentence reduced. He is a proven liar, so changing his story now could easily be argued as just a lie to to reduce his sentence.

A political hit job by corrupt Democrats. EVERYONE KNOWS IT.

cocaine bear

Trump won and you know it!

Didn't Bill Clinton pay off Paula Jones with the same sort of 'hush money'... I mean nondisclosure agreement?

Oh well.. Hillary lied in her email scandal and the russia collusion scandal. So what's your point?

InfoWars_tv is twice as credible as maddow. Disagree?

He should have listened to Michael Cohen.

Sounds like Trump

Um... you guys already tried this one. Get new info. We all know Trump paid her in exchange for her commitment to honor an NDA. Since she didn't the courts found her guilty of violating the NDA and she owes Trump $300k. This indictment is trash like all the other attempts.

Trump says he expects to be arrested Tuesday as New York law enforcement prepares for possible indictment By Kaitlan Collins, Kristen Holmes and Paula Reid, CNN Updated 8:08 PM EDT, Sat March 18, 2023

the truth shall set you free....

Joe Tacopina made me sick. I still say it looked like he was going to hit Ari. Twice he tried to grab some papers that Ari had in his hands. Joe Tacopina needs to go away. Ari that was a great interview. I still think about it.

So what did you do years before today that you could be indicted for?And it doesn't matter because you wouldn't be able to pull us out of this inflation disaster. You wouldn't be able to bring manufacturing back to the US and you wouldn't be able to end the war in Ukraine.

You do not want to see trump get back in office because you know he will get that dictator out and return us back to the CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC that we are

You would rather see our lives destroyed then trump get back into office because you know he will dismantle the administration state the 1st chance he gets. He will ruin what you have worked for and he will make sure the USA does not become a marxist regime.

More fresh meat about to get thrown under the Trump bus. I hope he got a retainer.

He better go get his spray tan to cover the high blood pressure red face.

Omg how many strings can you pull at lol

Trump can't get good lawyers: 1. He does not pay them 2. He does not listen to their advice. He knows better. 3. He really needs good lawyers now.

No really cares ! 🇺🇸

“He got what paid for”

Fake news no credibility, no journalistic integrity LOWEST RATINGS deserved.

Where does he get all these dummy lawyers that are so stupid they shouldn't even have a license

Maddie waiting for a gotcha moment.

Sounded a bit like Michael Cohen before he went under the bus. Lol

This interview was a disaster…I hope he got paid bigly for it

Game of Lies, where lawyers lie more than clients

that a queer person

Oops, did TacoPina’s statement that Trump didn’t lie backfire? Lol TFG is not going to be very happy about that. Joe better take whatever money he’s been paid and run 🏃🏻😂

So what? This is the dumbest case. Alvin Bragg know it as well as the lawyers who quit his office. There was a better case Sy Vance pursued. They dropped that cuz it was never serious. It's just distraction nonsense. Trump won't be convicted of being blackmailed.

This is a very unserious attempt at running a news network.

Opinion article.

A lie is a lie , is a lie

Laughing..........90% of what comes out of Chumpy 's burger stuffing hole is a lie! The remaining 10%,:well, let's just say do not believe a word!

Do you ever talk about anything other than Trump LOLOLOL MSNBC is a total joke

His argument in a nutshell: Trump didn't lie but yes he did lie because lying was the legally correct thing to do.

Trump’s lawyer tried double speak but it failed. In his attempt to say Trump didn’t lie, he said, “of course he lied but he had to”. Ha!
