Lawyers for Donald Trump are meeting with the former president in Florida this weekend to discuss how to handle the latest developments in a Manhattan probe focused on a hush money payment during the 2016 campaign.
Joe Tacopina, one of Trump’s attorneys, told NBC News on Friday that Trump’s lawyers have “no plans” to meet with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, which has convened a grand jury to look into a payment to Stormy Daniels, the actress who said she slept with Trump before he became president.
NBC News reported Thursday that Trump was invited to testify before the grand jury. Trump’s lawyers have not said whether he will accept the invitation, and the district attorney’s office has declined to comment on the matter.
“We are not convinced they will bring a case, but if so we will deal with it,” Tacopina said Friday.
Trump, who in November launched his 2024 presidential bid, said in a lengthy statement on his Truth Social site Thursday night that he “did absolutely nothing wrong,” and suggested the investigation was politically motivated. He has repeatedly denied having an affair with Daniels….

“The theory that Trump defined and validated throughout his political career has been the 5th Avenue Republican theory, which is that he could do anything — he could shoot anybody on 5th Avenue and they would stick with him,” said Kevin Madden, a senior adviser on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. “That’s going to be put to the test, but so far it has proven to be an enduring principle.”
As Trump enters yet another period of peak vulnerability in a career full of them, Madden added, the real question is whether one of his potential 2024 Republican rivals will use the opportunity to deliver a knockout blow….

Some on Trump’s team are preparing for the likelihood that he is indicted within a month, two advisers said, and that they have to run a campaign while he is facing charges. “You think about Georgia and New York in particular,” one of the advisers said Friday. “You could see charges in both places, and he could be on trial while running for president.”…

Politically, Trump is also facing a perilous moment. DeSantis, who has not yet announced an official campaign, traveled to Iowa on Friday to introduce himself to voters there. Hundreds of people arrived Friday morning to his first event at a resort casino in Davenport — where Trump will travel Monday for what his team is billing as a speech on education…..

But a possible indictment in New York would be another blow for Trump, whose extensive legal woes already has some Republican voters and leaders suggesting it may be time for the party to move on to a candidate with less baggage.
“Given all the unknowns right now, it’s far too early to know the political impact,” said Alex Conant, who worked on Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) 2016 campaign.
“That said, it’s hard to see how this is a positive for Trump,” added Conant, who now works with Firehouse Strategies. “At a minimum, it’s a distraction from the relatively well-disciplined campaign he’s run in recent weeks. It will remind a lot of voters about the chaos that they really disliked during his administration.”…

Republican strategists have for months raised concerns that Trump may be the only GOP candidate who could lose to President Biden in a general election due to concerns about his conduct and character.
I’m looking for a review of Trump’s legal cases from our Jack here at the PDog……
What is there to “review?”
Look any prosecutor can get an indictment.Getting a conviction can often be much more problematic.
These charges against Trump have been talked about for awhile now going back in some cases several years..Maybe something will come of them.Until then?
I see nothing further to “review.”
There are 4 cases cooking….
I was just interested in ur views on them ….
Is ot ur view that Trump will beat them to acquire a second term?
U seem dismissive of any efforts to convict him of ANY ILLEGALITY
Your insight on the legal merits absent the politics
I’m not dismissive ;however, your obsession with this that goes back literally 7 years ( since he was elected in 2016) ,is way over the top.
How can one intelligently have a “view” when one doesn’t even know the specific charges and the evidence to back them up?
All you do is publish these stories(in many cases nothing but rumors from self appointed “sources”) and off you go ,essentially declaring that Trump is finished.
I’m neither discounting the fact that some of these matters may result in a criminal charge(s) nor that they may end without even an indictment.
Then?I may have a”view.” For now though,I’m simply observing from afar.
Thank You…..
Yes, I thought Mueller wouldn’t punk out….
He DID….
My Bad….
I’ll wait for the actually indictments then for ur view on the case presented at the time…
Judge ain’t buying Trump’s delaying tactics in New York…
Trump Caught Trying to Delay Trials
Daily Beast: “Trump’s lawyers have until Wednesday to explain how they tried to play two New York judges off each other by double-booking trials to potentially delay them both.”
