Trump indictment updates: Trump speaks out on charges from Mar-a-Lago

With former President Donald Trump being arraigned on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to Stormy Daniels -- to which he pleaded not guilty -- comes the reminder of when Trump first broke his silence about the adult film star.

It was on April 5, 2018, when Trump walked back to where reporters were seated on Air Force One and denied, when questioned, that he knew about a reported $130,000 hush money payment made by his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to Daniels.

In Trump's attorneys' first public comments following Tuesday's arraignment, Todd Blanche said "there were no surprises" in the indictment and that they "plan to fight it hard."

Trump is "upset and frustrated and disappointed and mad that this happened," Blanche told reporters outside the Manhattan courthouse.

Joe Tacopina, another Trump attorney, called the case insufficient and said the unsealing of the indictment "shows that the rule of law died in this country."

"While everyone is not above the law, no one's below it either," Tacopina said. "And if this man's name was not Donald J. Trump, there is no scenario we'd all be here today."

Prosecutors alleged during Tuesday's hearing that one of former President Donald Trump's attorneys, Joe Tacopina, has a conflict of interest in the case because of prior communications with Stormy Daniels.

Tacopina pushed back on that aggressively, telling Judge Juan Merchan that he "never met, never spoke" with Daniels, and said that an associate from his office did send Daniels a document and held preliminary conversations with her.

Trump said "yes," when the judge asked him if he understood he had a right to conflict-free counsel.

Judge Merchan did not make any decision on this today.
