Trump Arraignment Live Updates: Former President Explains His ‘Only Crime'

Huff Post  

Trump’s attorneys said the former president is upset about the criminal charges against him but not surprised by anything revealed in the indictment.“He’s frustrated, he’s upset, but I’ll tell you what, he’s motivated, and it’s not going to stop him and it’s not going to slow him down,” said his attorney Todd Blanche, who called it “not a good day.”“The indictment itself is boilerplate,” he told reporters outside the courthouse. “It’s sad, and we’re going to fight it.”Asked if there was anything in the indictment that surprised them, his attorney Joe Tacopina said: “I was surprised that there were no facts in there.”Blanche added that the judge asked everyone, not specifically Trump, to refrain from using inappropriate language in relation to the case.“The judge didn’t warn, he asked the parties to consider what they’re saying, not saying,” he said.When asked about Trump recently sharing a photo of himself holding a baseball bat next to the Manhattan district attorney’s head, Tacopina said it was being taken out of context.“That was a picture of him showing off an American-made bat,” Tacopina said of the photo
