Prosecutors have asked a judge in former Pres. Trump's criminal case to look further into a potential conflict of interest on the part of Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.

Trump's defense team includes Joe Tacopina, a lawyer Daniels once considered hiring as her attorney, and the Manhattan district attorney's office said Tacopina's representations so far are insufficient.

"[T]he People request that the Court make certain additional inquiries of Mr. Tacopina and conduct a Gomberg inquiry of the defendant," executive assistant district attorney Susan Hoffinger wrote in a letter to the court, referring to a hearing that would establish that Trump knowingly opts to continue with Tacopina as his attorney notwithstanding any conflict.

Trump affirmed at his arraignment he wanted to move forward with Tacopina on his legal team, but Hoffinger said a full hearing would be needed.Stephanie Keith/Getty Images, FILE She has asked the judge order Tacopina to turn over any records of his firm's communications with Daniels, and to disclose the extent to which he may have shared any information from Daniels with Trump.

The potential conflict was raised by Daniels' current attorney, Clark Brewster, who said in a letter to the Manhattan district attorney's office that Daniels had a 2018 conversation with Tacopina and attorneys at his firm about them potentially representing her.Top Stories

So the DA didn't consider conflict of interest before bringing indictment charges against Fmr Pres TRUMP. While everything point to the clear fact that he is serving a political bias towards the former President

the judgeless judge has huge conflicts of interest himself and is violating judges' cannons and should have recused himself long ago.

Rich coming from the very same prosecutors that have PROVEN TIES TO GEORGE SOROS. But we’re not supposed to notice or even talk about that. The Prosecution AND the Judge should recluse themselves but they won’t and will do whatever is necessary to stay on the case.

Alvin Bragg is getting nervous

You’ll never bring Trump down, fake news media 👍

They're so scared lol

Trump Trump Trump, fake news ABC will protect the Biden crime family at any means, there's 6 more Biden family members involved with the overseas business dealings and ABC will avoid this until their fake news is forced to!! How pathetic and corrupt can our media be?

race-baiting ABC-leaze (news ?)waited until the end of the segment before mentioning Jaylen Walker fired at the cops first. Typical race-baiting democrat mouthpiece.

Conflicts of interest on the Prosecutors sides ?

Bragg is so afraid of Tacopina. Stormy Daniels is not a party to the case, just a witness, and even if she was a party, she wasn't rep'd by Tacopina's firm, she didn't sign a retainer agm. Her interests are not above Trump's. This is harrassment.

What a sarga the world is watching what’s next only in gold old USA 🇺🇸

Everyone who had sex with underaged girls gets a pass ..

Lol COI like a prosecutor who is going after Trump for political reasons?

The demonrats are acting like nazis. Enough already! Nuremberg 2.0

Is there any part of Trump’s life that isn’t twisted & corrupted ?

Now they are going after his right to counsel and due process. Is there any depth the left won’t sink to?

You have the right to representation unless your name is Trump… if your name is Trump you will be afforded no such right.
