The adult film star has had to beef up her personal security after receiving 'concerning' messages online.
"There's no crime here," Tacopina said."The only potential crime here, Mark, is that Donald Trump was an extortion victim. When someone says 'give me money, or I'm gonna tell a nasty story about you,' whether true or not, that's absolutely irrelevant to the equation, 'I'm gonna tell a story to the press, I'm gonna embarrass you to your family, unless you give me money.
Tacopina added:"That's extortion 101. How she's not being looked at as someone who was a bad actor is beyond me. But yet Donald Trump is the victim of extortion. For the first time in this country's history in a most novel, novel, untested legal theory, of prosecution is being subject to a grand jury investigation.In 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty in federal court
to making an illegal payment to Daniels that Trump reimbursed him for. Cohen also testified the same in meetings with Manhattan prosecutors. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg must prove to the grand jury that Trump reimbursed Cohen and falsified business records to hide the payment. Bragg is also pursuing a potential violation of state election law.
The former U.S. president and his attorneys have denied culpability. They have argued the payments were legal and would have happened whether he was running for president or not.have suggested it may not happen until next week. The grand jury will be hearing from another witness on Wednesday.
