Former President Donald Trump has a message for the Manhattan grand jury seeking his testimony in a porn star hush money probe: Don’t hold your breath.
Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina said on Monday that the former president is “an extortion victim,” and has no plans to cooperate with the Manhattan DA’s investigation into an alleged pre-election hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
“He’s not going to testify,” Tacopina said. “Ninety-nine percent of targets in grand jury proceedings choose not to. He’s not going to participate in the proceeding that me and most election law experts think is without total merit.”
Tacopina’s comments came on the same day that longtime fixer Michael Cohen testified for nearly three hours general sale Friday.
The 36-year-old Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, is a five-time Grammy winner, most recently taking home the prize for best melodic rap performance for “Wait for You” at February’s ceremony.
Drake is also known for songs such as “Hotline Bling,” “One Dance” and “Best I Ever Had.” about his role in issuing the now-notorious $130,000 payment to Daniels in October 2016 to buy her silence about an alleged sexual tryst with Trump at a Lake Tahoe golf tournament in 2006.
The payment, which has for years been public knowledge, made Cohen a felon and ultimately led to his disbarment.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has been investigating whether Trump falsified business records in connection with the payment, which prosecutors allege was to keep her from talking about a long-denied affair.
It’s unclear whether prosecutors are probing other areas with the grand jury and considering other potential charges. The years-long probe launched by Bragg’s predecessor Cyrus Vance has ramped up recently, with prosecutors summoning longtime Trump aides like Hope Hicks and Kellyanne Conway for interviews.
Last week, the DA’s team invited Trump to come in and testify before the grand jury.
