An attorney for Donald Trump has said the former president’s claim that he would be arrested last week was based on “a lot of leaks coming out of the district attorney’s office” in Manhattan and that he did not make it up.

Attorney Joe Tacopina made the comment on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on March 26 when asked whether Trump had lied about the indictment claim.
