    Witch Hunt Legal Showdown: Trump’s Defense Slams NY Attorney General’s Power Play in High-Stakes Fraud Case

    JimBy Updated: Whatfinger News 7 Mins Read

    The Witch Hunt Continues. 

    How that yet another ridiculous settlement in NY against Trump was just announced, there is the more serious one still pending…  NY AG Letitia James Pushes For Total Trump Ban From Real Estate Industry in Latest Court Filing Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James pushed for President Trump to be banned from the real estate industry in Tuesday court filing. Letitia James is seeking $370 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies. James originally sought $250 million in damages from Trump. In addition to increasing the amount of ‘damages’ she wants Trump to pay, Letitia James is seeking a lifetime ban for him from the real estate industry.  The following fast clip sums it all up quite well

    In a recent development in the legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump, his legal counsel, Clifford Robert, has accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of a “shameless abuse of power.” This accusation stems from James’ comparison of the penalties sought against Trump to the lifetime ban imposed on former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli from the drug industry.

    The attorney general has requested several penalties, including a permanent ban on Trump doing business in New York, which would extend to dealings with New York-based financial institutions. In a strongly-worded letter to New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, Robert criticized James for what he deemed a politically motivated attack on Trump. He argued that the comparison to Shkreli’s case was inappropriate and demonstrated James’ willingness to misuse her office to hinder Trump’s political aspirations.

    Robert urged the judge to reject the comparison, describing it as “misplaced,” “irresponsible,” and “baseless.” He claimed that the attorney general’s desperation and frustration with Trump’s political ascent were the driving forces behind such parallels and warned that allowing this conduct to continue could cause irreparable damage to the legal system and the New York business community.

    A crucial aspect of the defense’s argument involves challenging the comparison between Trump’s case and Shkreli’s. Shkreli, the former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, was found liable for price gouging in 2022, involving a significant increase in the price of a drug used to treat AIDS patients. The penalties included a $64.6 million disgorgement and a lifetime ban from the pharmaceutical industry.

    The defense contends that the Shkreli case involved concrete evidence, including witnesses and victims who testified to the harm caused by Shkreli’s actions. In contrast, Robert highlighted that no such evidence has been presented in Trump’s case, where the attorney general’s office is the sole source of the assertion of fraud.

    Further emphasizing the differences, Robert argued that Trump’s net worth exceeded the reported financials, and he was a highly sought-after client by banks. The defense claimed that the only allegation of fraud came from the attorney general, not from the banks or insurers involved in the transactions.

    The defense also dismissed a comparison made during closing arguments to Bernard Madoff, labeling it as “frivolous.” They pointed out that Madoff pleaded guilty to 11 charges, affecting thousands of victims, in stark contrast to Trump’s continuous denial of any wrongdoing and his assertion of being the victim in the situation.

    The case originated from a claim by Michael Cohen, a former personal lawyer turned critic of Trump, in 2019. Cohen alleged that Trump manipulated his net worth on paper to secure favorable loan terms. The lawsuit filed by Attorney General James in 2022 included seven claims related to fraud in Trump Organization’s financial statements from 2011 to 2021.

    Justice Engoron’s summary judgment in September 2023 found Trump liable for fraud and inflating his net worth by up to $2.2 billion in these statements. The ongoing trial focuses on determining penalties and requires the state attorneys to demonstrate materiality and intent to defraud.

    With closing arguments concluded in early January after a 44-day trial, Justice Engoron is expected to issue a decision by the end of this month. The attorney general is seeking various penalties, including a staggering $370 million in damages and a five-year ban on Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. from doing business in New York. As the legal battle unfolds, it remains to be seen how the judge will weigh the arguments presented by both sides in this high-stakes case. The scam of it all is self-evident. The Witch Hunt is real and Trump was decided as guilty before the case even began. Even in public statements, which is illegal. The Deep State is doing all it can to destroy Trump, and thus far these attacks are only making him stronger.

    Major Points Discussed:

    • Trump’s legal counsel accuses NY Attorney General Letitia James of a “shameless abuse of power” in seeking penalties against Trump, including a permanent business ban in New York.
    • Defense attorney Clifford Robert criticizes James for drawing parallels between Trump’s case and the lifetime ban imposed on Martin Shkreli, arguing it is politically motivated and inappropriate.
    • The defense challenges the comparison, highlighting the lack of concrete evidence in Trump’s case compared to Shkreli’s, where witnesses and victims testified to the harm caused by price gouging in the pharmaceutical industry.
    • Trump’s defense contends that the only fraud allegation comes from the attorney general, with banks and insurers involved in transactions denying reliance solely on Trump Organization’s financial statements.
    • The case originated from Michael Cohen’s 2019 claim, accusing Trump of manipulating his net worth for better loan terms. Justice Engoron’s September 2023 summary judgment found Trump liable for fraud, and the ongoing trial focuses on determining penalties, with a decision expected by the end of this month.
