WASHINGTON - Donald Trump'sTrump's legal team went on Friday, March 31 following his historic indictment, vowing that the former president would never seek a plea deal and ready to fight all charges.
The 76 year-old Trump, who is hoping to recapture the White House in 2024, chimed in with attacks on the prosecutors who brought the charges against him and even the judge who is expected to hear the case.
KANGAROO COURT: ELECTION INTERFERENCE, KANGAROO COURT! Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social that Juan Manuel Marchal, the judge who might preside over an eventual trial, hates me because he is to be arrested, fingerprinted and will appear before a judge on Tuesday afternoon, as the first American president to face criminal charges.
The president will not be put in handcuffs, said Joe Tacopina, one of Trump's attorneys, who said he does not believe prosecutors will allow this to become a circus Tacopina said that the hush-money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg against Trump faces substantial legal challenges and the former president would plead not guilty.
He told NBC's Today show that there is zero chance that Trump will accept a plea deal. Trump, who is currently in his palatial Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, was initially shocked at the indictment, but he is now in the position of saying that he's ready to fight the pending arrest of the Republican he beat in 2020, and could potentially face again in November of next year.
I have no comment on Trump, Biden said.
