Donald Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina is quickly making a name for himself, and not in a good way. Tacopina is representing Trump in his current civil rape trial, in which he’s harassed E. Jean Carroll on the stand in a failed attempt at getting her to crack. Tacopina is also representing Trump in his Manhattan criminal trial, but perhaps not for long.

Awhile back there was reporting that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg had obtained evidence that Tacopina had previously communicated with Stormy Daniels about representing her in this scandal. If so, that would be a clear conflict of interest, and would prevent Tacopina from being able to represent Trump in this matter.

Now the judge in the case has sent Tacopina a letter instructing him to turn over all his communications with Daniels, so the judge can determine whether to remove Tacopina from the case. Keep in mind that Bragg has surely already given the judge Daniels’ copies of these communications, so it’s not as if Tacopina can get away with lying or failing to comply (the latter of which would land him in hot water anyway).

We’ll see which way the judge ends up ruling. But it’s clear that he’s taking this matter seriously. If the judge felt that Bragg’s request to have Tacopina thrown off the case was weak or frivolous, he’d have rejected it, instead of ordering Tacopina to turn over material.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
