Ex-Trump Attorney Rips Tim Scott's 'Ridiculous' Biden Claim: 'We Know That's Not The Case'

Former Trump attorney Joe Tacopina knocked Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) for his uneducated, unintelligent claim that President Joe Biden is weaponizing the justice system on Saturday.

Scott took to social media to push claims that Biden used the justice system to go after Donald Trump  following the former presidents guilty verdict in his hush money trial this week.

I cant believe the hoax, the sham, this absolute injustice, justice system, said the South Carolina senator , who is reportedly being considered to be Trumps vice presidential pick.

Joe Biden s injustice. Joe Bidens two-tier injustice system. Weaponizing the justice system of the United States of America against a political opponent? Un-American. Joe Biden, youre fired, Scott added.

Scotts remarks add to those of other Republicans who have seemingly abandoned  law and order talk to back Trump in the wake of the guilty verdict.

Tacopina, who was once part of  Trumps legal team in the hush money trial before quitting in January, told MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton that he used to respect Scott prior to his Biden claim.

But I sort of lost a lot of respect from what I just heard because he sounded so uneducated, unintelligent and made no sense at all, said Tacopina on PoliticsNation, adding that Biden and anyone from his Justice Department have absolutely zero to do with the Manhattan district attorneys office.

So to say that Joe Biden brought this case is one of the most ridiculous things Ive heard, Tacopina continued. We know thats not the case, and even Trumps lawyers know thats not the case.
