WASHINGTON: The historic case against Donald Trump faces a number of legal hurdles if it is to result in the first conviction of a US president on criminal charges, legal experts said Wednesday.
As to be expected, Trump's attorneys dismissed the 34-count indictment unsealed on Tuesday at the high-profile arraignment in New York of the 76-year-old real estate tycoon.
"It was a little disappointing, a little bit of a relief quite frankly to see that indictment," Joe Tacopina told NBC's "Today" show. "This case is going to fall on its merits."
Even some of Trump's fiercest critics were not impressed with the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat who has been accused by Trump and other Republicans of waging a "political witch hunt."
