BREAKING: Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina may get disqualified from defending Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush money prosecution — because Daniels met with Tacopina when she was looking to retain a lawyer in 2018. Tacopina may thus have confidential info from Daniels. Oops.

Donald Trump’s current criminal defense attorney Joe Tacopina went on TV a few years ago and spelled out Trump’s guilt in the Stormy Daniels case. Trump apparently didn’t know about it when he recently hired the guy. This is beyond hilarious!
