It’s not gonna happen,” he added. “There’s no crime.” Tacopina also said he didn’t know if the case would even get to trial because his team “have substantial legal challenges.” Asked if Trump would surrender for his arraignment—expected early next week—Tacopina said he is currently working on logistics, but Trump is “not going to hole up in Mar-a-Lago.”
