Attorney Says He Quit Trump's Legal Team Because 'I Had To Follow My Compass'

Joe TacopinaIn his first interview since leaving Donald Trump’s legal team, attorney Joe Tacopina cited “personal reasons” and his “compass” as reasons behind his departure.

“I left the team because it was just my time,” he told the Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC Saturday in what he said would be his only interview on the matter. “I had to follow my compass and my compass told me my time there was done. There are a lot of personal reasons that went into that, things that I can’t and won’t discuss.”

Tacopina represented the former president in his first trial last year against E. Jean Carroll, a writer whom Trump was found liable of defaming and sexually abusing.

Last week, a day before the start of a second defamation trial involving Carroll, Tacopina said he had stopped representing Trump “on all matters.” He filed notices seeking withdrawal of his law firm from Trump’s New York criminal trial and the appeal of the verdict in the first Carroll trial.

In A Surprise To No One, DeSantis Ends His Campaign By Falsely Quoting Winston Churchill

DiSantis misquotes Churchull AGAIN

In his video announcing the end of his 2024 presidential campaign, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race in the most fitting way imaginable: by falsely attributing a quote about failure to the late British political leader Winston Churchill.

The candidate suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination on Sunday after just barely placing a distant second in the Iowa GOP caucuses last week. DeSantis started his campaign with lots of Republican star power and funding, placing most of his focus on waging a so-called “war on woke.”

But a late entrance, poor polling, massive campaign layoffs and a stale personality ultimately led the governor to release a video announcing his campaign suspension and decision to endorse his political rival, indicted former President Donald Trump.

“Winston Churchill once remarked that, ‘Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts,’” DeSantis said in the video, repeating the quote in his post on X. “While this campaign has ended, the mission continues.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Drops Out Of Presidential Race

Ron DiSantis drops oht of race

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis saw the gap between him and the GOP presidential nominee front-runner, Donald Trump, continuing to widen.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who entered the 2024 presidential race with a bankroll rivaling that of coup-attempting former President Donald Trump, dropped his bid for the GOP nomination on Sunday.

The announcement comes just days after DeSantis claimed he had gotten his “ticket punched” to continue his campaign despite finishing a distant second to Trump in the Iowa caucuses. Late polls in that state showed that DeSantis could finish third behind former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. When DeSantis ultimately finished just two percentage points ahead of her, he tried to spin it as a victory ― even though he had previously said he had to win Iowa to win the nomination.

Donald Trump Drags Nikki Haley In Massive Jan. 6 Blunder

Trump cpnfuses Haley and Pelosi

Donald Trump on Friday blamed Nikki Haley for security issues during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, seemingly confusing former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with his rival for the GOP presidential nomination.

Trump — while touting the number of supporters present at a Concord, New Hampshire, rally — claimed that Haley, who previously served as United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor, gets crowds of “like, nine people” in the Granite State before he brought up the U.S. Capitol attack.

Hunter Biden's friend says Republicans gave 'misleading' account of impeachment testimony

Hunter Biden's friend says GOP gave misleading account of testimonyA friend of U.S. President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden on Friday accused House of Representatives Republicans of presenting a "cherry-picked, out-of-context and totally misleading" account of his testimony to their impeachment probe.

The friend, attorney Kevin Morris, testified in a closed-door deposition on Thursday about money he had loaned Hunter Biden, 53, to repay his taxes and art he had bought from him.
House Republicans allege that the president and his family improperly profited from policy decisions President Biden participated in as vice president in 2009-17. The White House and Hunter Biden deny wrongdoing.
After the closed-door interview, the House Oversight Committee said Morris had provided "loans" to Biden of at least $5 million that do not need to be repaid until after the 2024 election, and could be forgiven, and has since then gotten access to the White House and to Biden.

Jonathan Freedland: There is still a way to stop Donald Trump – but time is running out

There is a way to stop Trumphe few Republicans who have not succumbed to the cult of Donald Trump cling to one last hope. They are crossing their fingers that on Tuesday night the ex-president’s march to his party’s nomination will be halted, or at least delayed, by a defeat in the New Hampshire primary at the hands of the former governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley. But it is a thin hope.

Even if Haley wins a famous victory in this snowbound state, the battles ahead are on terrain far more tricky for her and congenial to him. On Monday, Trump won his party’s contest in Iowa by a record-breaking margin, amassing more votes than all his rivals combined – and the primary electorates that come next look more like Iowa’s than New Hampshire’s, which, unusually, includes a big slice of Trump-sceptic independents.

Judge sets hearing for misconduct claims against prosecutor leading Ga. Trump case

Fani WillisExtraordinary but so far unsubstantiated allegations that the Georgia prosecutor overseeing a criminal case against former President Donald Trump and others violated federal law will get their day in court.

A Thursday order from Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee sets a Feb. 15 hearing for a motion filed by former Trump campaign official Mike Roman, alleging Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had an improper relationship with the case's lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

Roman, Trump and 17 others have been charged by the DA's office for various efforts to subvert Georgia's 2020 election results. Roman, Trump and most of the other defendants have pleaded not guilty.
