'Not to be taken lightly': Lawyer who ditched Trump says ex-president could be convicted

Donald Trump is facing serious cases from legitimate prosecutors who could end up getting a conviction against the former president, according to Joe Tacopina, who recently left Trump's legal team.

Tacopina, who earlier in the Saturday MSNBC interview opened up about his reasoning for leaving Team Trump, was also asked about which case against his former client could possibly go the distance. Tacopina seemed to think that the federal cases are more worrisome for Trump than the two local criminal cases.

"The two federal cases are serious cases. I think they are not to be taken lightly. Let's put it that way," Tacopina said, before the host Al Sharpton asked him if a conviction is possible.

"Is it possible? Absolutely," Tacopina said. "You have a jury of 12 who is ultimately going to decide this. Jack Smith is a federal prosecutor who I knew from his days in Brooklyn. That's a serious prosecutor. These are federal cases, and you have a jury."

Tacopina went on to say Trump was indicted by grand juries and will likely face trials in unfriendly territories.

"That's going to be something to really have to grapple with there," he said. "You can't say there's no way he will get convicted, there is no way he will be sentenced."
