Donald Trump simply employed one of many nation’s prime trial attorneys, Joe Tacopina, to go after a former Manhattan prosecutor for allegedly defaming him, TMZ has discovered.
In his first order of biz as 45’s new authorized eagle, Tacopina fired off a letter Monday to lawyer Mark Pomerantz, claiming Pomerantz falsely acknowledged Trump was “guilty of numerous felony violations” and that it was a “grave failure of justice not to hold [Trump] accountable by way of criminal prosecution.”
Pomerantz’s statements appeared in his 2022 resignation letter to Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg, which Tacopina says was later leaked to the New York Times.

That’s why Tacopina’s issuing a authorized menace to Pomerantz, writing … “I strongly admonish you to take these next words seriously: If you publish such a book and continue making defamatory statements against my client, my office will aggressively pursue all legal remedies against you and your book publisher, Simon & Schuster.”
Tacopina added, “Trust me, I will zealously use every possible legal resource to punish you and your publisher for the incredible financial harm that you have caused my clients to suffer.”
As we reported, the Manhattan D.A. has performed an ongoing 2-year probe into the Trump Organization’s enterprise practices.
