Former US President Donald Trump who is likely to appear before a New York court, will not be handcuffed when he surrenders to face criminal charges, as per his lawyer.
Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina told a media portal Friday that the former president “will not be put in handcuffs.” Tacopina said no handcuffs is apparently as per an agreement between his defense attorneys and Manhattan prosecutors. Nevertheless, AI has already predicted how Trump will look like like in handcuffs and it is only a matter of days to see what protocols are to be followed.
However, Tacopina added that when Trump appears in court, he would likely be fingerprinted and will be subjected to other routine procedures.
Moreover, another Trump attorney Susan Necheles said the former president will plead not guilty.
Trump is facing charges in an indictment handed by a grand jury looking into a hush-money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 campaign.
“I don’t know how all this is going to go down,” Tacopina said in an interview adding, “There’s no textbook to see how you arraign a former president of the United States in criminal court.”

Tacopina said Trump and his defense team were surprised by his indictment. “Initially we were all shocked. Didn’t believe they were actually going to go through with this because there’s no crime here.”
