Trump's Attorney Joe Tacopina Withdraws from Two Cases

Departure Occurs Despite Recent Victory in Iowa Caucuses

Donald Trump's attorney, Joe Tacopina, has withdrawn from representing him in two cases: a criminal trial over alleged falsification of business records and an appeal of the verdict in a civil lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
Tacopina's withdrawal comes despite Trump's recent victory in the Iowa caucuses, where he won 98 of 99 counties, cementing his front-runner status in the race for the GOP’s presidential nomination.
Tacopina's departure is the latest in a series of attorneys who have left Trump's legal team over the years, including Rudy Giuliani, Jim Trusty, and Tim Parlatore.
Trump faces 34 felony charges from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in connection to a hush money payment made to porn actor Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
Despite the legal challenges, a spokesperson for the former president said that he 'has the most experienced, qualified, disciplined, and overall strongest legal team ever assembled.'
