• Joe Tacopina, the attorney representing Donald Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush money payout case in which the former president has just been indicted, reportedly has his share of detractors in Trump’s inner circle.
• A source familiar with the matter and another person close to Trump tell Rolling Stone that a number of Trump’s other current lawyers have privately described Tacopina as “dumb” and a “loudmouth.”
• Tacopina has been ever present on cable news over the past several weeks, including on Sunday morning — where he racked up multiple appearances.
• “He pisses off others with his antics, but he’s a blunt object that Donald Trump wants, apparently,” says one of the sources.
