WASHINGTON - Donald Trump's legal team went on the offensive on Friday following his historic indictment, vowing the former president would never seek a plea deal and was ready"to fight" all charges.
Trump is to be booked, fingerprinted and will have a mugshot taken at a Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday afternoon before appearing before a judge as the first ever American president to face criminal charges."The president will not be put in handcuffs," said Joe Tacopina, one of Trump's attorneys, adding that he does not believe prosecutors will"allow this to become a circus.
Trump, who is currently at his palatial Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, was initially"shocked" at the indictment, his attorney said, but"he's now in the posture that he's ready to fight this."AFP | Leonardo Munoz
