Trump's Lawyer Defends Judge Despite President's Criticism.

Former President Donald Trump continues to attack Judge Juan Merchan, who will preside over the Manhattan district attorney's case against him. Trump's legal team has been considering asking for the trial to be moved to the more-conservative Staten Island. However, Trump's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, has no issue with Merchan. The attacks could be grounds for the Manhattan district attorney to charge Trump with obstruction. Trump is expected to be charged with several counts related to a $130,000 payment to keep porn star Stormy Daniels quiet about her alleged affair with him ahead of the 2016 election.
