  1. Waiting for the msm to investigate Biden family..oh..nothing to report. Show both sides for a change, it would be refreshing.

  2. But, but Chuck… this latest Trump Clown Show farce of an attorney… !?!! I would not hire this dude to defend me in a J-walking case. Sad.

  3. Why have this hack attorney on the air? Waste of everyone's time!

  4. You don't MAKE HER SIGN A NDA UNLESS TRUMP PAID HER TO BE QUIET.

  5. As usual you liars embellished the story. The Lawyer Cohen signed an affidavit that. Trump wasn't involved with any payments to Daniels !

  6. Does anyone even check to see if any of these clownish imbeciles has actual law degrees? The most hilarious thing is that Trump HAS to have met this clown in person and decided "yeah, he can represent me" lmao.

  7. If Bumbling Boob head groping Biden would have such a defense….

  8. Donald Trump 2024👍🇺🇸

  9. Please let them make it personal funds…..pleeeeeaaase!

  10. Is this guy high on Crack?

  11. this lawyer’s working hard to get stiffed on payday.

  12. Trump wrote off the payment on his business taxes with a business check.

  13. The dude is a tweaker. Just watch him for 30 seconds. He's at 80,000 feet and going Mach 9
    Poor sap…

  14. Arrest bonespurs. Yesterday ✌🏼

  15. Republican Party is. Domestic terrorist cell

  16. The only reason I can think of for this guy to go on NBC and try his case in the court of public opinion is because he knows they will lose this in a court of laws. Well, there is stupid, too. But you can't fix that.

  17. Wow, Todd is a bought and sold partisian hack.
    His worst offense is being clueless on the subject.
    The imbicile Todd is just try to get his narrative out, regardless of the facts.
    The JT has more knowledge and brains in his hair folicle, then the dispicable Todd.

  18. The lawyer looks drunk asf

  19. Trump is the most powerful and beloved leader of all time……. Arrest and disbar Bragg immediately…..

  20. Chuck got shot down so fast….Chuck is a fake news anchor that should be fired immediately..

  21. …whoa trumper-guy, slow down speak clearly and try not to take this so personal. You sound defensive…

  22. I would like some dressing to go with that word salad. 🥗

  23. I'm waiting for Joe to turn green and quadruple in size…..it's going to happen……..any minute now……… aaannyyy minute now………..

  24. "Death and destruction." Give me a break. Trump is a provocative hypocrite who is not fit to lead our nation. He's not worth it, folks.

  25. And who cleans up the SLIME When this ambulance chaser leaves the room

  26. Make Accountability Great Again!

  27. Joey "Bag o' Donuts" Tapioca, ladies and gentlemen.

  28. 590 days till election 🇺🇸 590 more days of ignoring the actual president Santa clause will come to your house 2 more times before the next president takes or keeps power

  29. He is a good lawyer. Soros is spending a ton of money to get Trump's mugshot.

  30. Dems DAs can get him on anything since 2015…. because there's nothing on him😂😂😂😂

  31. If I were a Republican I would be worried about the weaponization of the justice department. Because they commit so many crimes.

  32. He sounds like Jimney Cricket

  33. I'm thinking Todd's days are numbered he's not aging well seems to have turned angry argues with guests often goes off the message to chase butterflies and frequently off the rails simply not the sort of kook to moderate this worthless program anymore who knows he might just be upset at being a marionette and a stooge then finally what's up with his front teeth he looks like a beaver or a woodchuck anymore okay that'll work we'll call him Woodchuck Todd from now on

  34. 14 Business Violations, 14 Tax Fraud Violations. Tax Payers should NOT be paying for trump's sexuality.

  35. Can you imagine. There's a tap at your door and this lowlife nightmare's standing there—staring at ya'?

  36. "The Donald J. Trump Foundation, which was a charitable organization founded by former US President Donald Trump, was dissolved in 2019 following a lawsuit by the New York Attorney General's office. The lawsuit alleged that the foundation had engaged in a 'shocking pattern of illegality' and that Trump had used the foundation's funds for personal and political purposes. The lawsuit also alleged that Trump had used the foundation to settle legal disputes, to purchase personal items such as portraits of himself, and to make political donations. Additionally, the lawsuit claimed that the foundation had violated federal and state laws governing nonprofit organizations by failing to operate under proper governance and oversight. As a result of the lawsuit, the Trump Foundation agreed to dissolve and distribute its remaining assets to other charities approved by the Attorney General's office. President Trump also agreed to pay $2 million in damages for misusing the foundation's funds."

  37. How is this the lawyer of a so called billionaire

  38. I see this guy needing a lawyer.

  39. Tacopina is just another Trump lawyer willing to embarrass himself and destroy whatever little reputation he has left for the cold, hard cash!! A grifter. Trump doesn't even pay his own lawyers. He has other people paying them.

  40. It must bruise your soul to be a lawyer like that.

  41. Look at what Trump and MAGAT Republicans have become. They are sick and delusional attacking, threatening, and demonization public servants doing their jobs while supporting and defending insurrectionists and domestic terrorists. They are not patriots, but traitors.
