On Thursday, Jesse Binnall, one of Donald Trump's attorneys, anticipated that the former president's legal team would try to have the allegations against him in the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case dropped.
Binnall predicted that a move to dismiss would be made. There is a lot of material for a move to dismiss, particularly with regard to statute of limitations.
Trump is the first former president to be charged with a crime after a grand jury in Manhattan recently decided to indict him for his alleged involvement in a 2016 payment to Stormy Daniels. He entered a not guilty plea to 34 counts of conspiracy and fabricating company records at his arraignment earlier this week.
Although Binnall is not a member of the present trial team for Trump, they have collaborated on other cases in the past. He has said that due to doubts about the judge's objectivity, he might step down or face a motion to do so.
We'll have to carefully assess if this judge is appropriate as well, he said. "And this judge, in my opinion, needs to give his ability to be fair in this case a very close examination. We might also be considering a motion for recusal, in my opinion.
Binnall added that the location would make it more difficult for Trump to get a fair trial.
He said, "Donald Trump has no chance of getting a fair trial in Manhattan." "I mean, it's ridiculous. Everyone in America, on both sides of the political spectrum, is aware that there isn't a fair trial option there.
