‘You Understand What I’m Dealing With Here’
Joe Tacopina appeared to throw his client, former President Donald Trump, under the bus in a reported sidebar with Judge Lewis Kaplan during the ongoing E. Jean Carroll trial.
At issue are comments made by a vexed Trump who told assembled reporters on Thursday that he had to leave Ireland and Scotland early to return to New York to “confront” Carroll, who he called a “disgrace,” and Judge Kaplan, who he called “extremely hostile.”
When asked by a reporter if he planned to attend the trial, Trump affirmed and said, “I have to go back for a woman that made a false accusation about me, and I have a judge who is extremely hostile and I’m going to go back, and I’m going to confront this. But this woman is a disgrace, and it shouldn’t be allowed to happen in our country.” Tacopina repeatedly denied on Thursday that Trump would testify in the case.
Reporting for Law & Crime, Adam Kasfeld reported on a sidebar conversation between Tacopina and Kaplan:
“I know you understand what I am dealing with,” Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina told Senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan during a sidebar conference on Thursday.
