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. ...

The lawyer who recently ditched Donald Trump's team just opened up about his reasoning in what he called "the first and only" interview he will do on the topic.

Joe Tacopina represented the former president at the initial E. Jean Carroll trial, which Trump didn't attend and ended up losing. Just before the second trial, Tacopina left and took two other attorneys with him, according to news reports.

He is -- I mean, he's very good at self-publicity, but not actually very good in the courtroom, and I think that that's something that we all saw during the Jean Carroll case," Parlatore said. "It's something I warned them repeatedly do not bring this guy in at all, and it's something that none of other lawyers -- none of us wanted to work with him. So he went and he did the Jean Carroll case. He mishandled it, in my opinion. He was put on the shelf and then they kind of left him there for several months." ...
