It's not clear if Trump was aware that Tacopina said the hush money payment was illegal when he hired the guy to defend him in the hush money case.
Trump’s lies about the matter—like initially denying he was aware of the payment—weren’t lies because Trump wasn’t under oath when he uttered them. Speaking tothat the legal system is “completely weaponized.” One TV hit he probably doesn’t like mentioned? The one in which he called the hush money deal “illegal,” among other things.
Yes, back in 2018, years before he would be hired to represent Trump, Tacopina went on CNN and stated, for all the world to hear, that the payment was against the law, that it was potentially a “campaign finance issue,” and that the story thatacted in his own capacity when he paid Daniels $130,000 was total BS.
