'I think there's a good chance you'll see motions, or at least one motion, to dismiss, and it's the type of thing that could knock this case out before any jury ever hears an opening statement,' an attorney for the former president said.
in 2016 voted to indict Trump, making him the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges. Trump, who has denied all wrongdoing and says he never had an affair with Daniels, is set to surrender to police and appear in court for the first time on Tuesday.
"I think there's a good chance you'll see motions, or at least one motion, to dismiss, and it's the type of thing that could knock this case out before any jury ever hears an opening statement," Trusty said. "We don't even have a case number here yet," Trusty said. "We've got a sealed indictment we haven't read, so there's a lot to do. But I would expect this in days or weeks, not weeks or months."
While Trusty said it doesn't appear the charges extend to involve the Trump Organization or Karen McDougal, another woman who alleged an affair with Trump, he couldn't rule that out.
