Ron Desantis will tell the feds and NY to pound sand if they issue an arrest warrant for Trump. And 10,000 angry rednecks with ARs will show up to guard him.
I predict people will die that day if they try it.
I don’t know if PDJT is staying in NJ now but he is supposed to be in TX 30 June and FL 3 July, so, yea, TX and FL will not allow NY to arrest him in their states. Any request for him to be extradited to NY will require a court hearing in either TX or FL. If he is still in NJ he needs to get out immediately.
Assuming that NY attempts to arrest Trump it would require them to have evidence showing that any “fraud” alleged by the Trump organization was personally ordered by him or that he was personally aware of and approved of the fraud.
From all the “SOURCES” referenced in these articles the “fraud” is in the form of:
1. Failure to pay payroll taxes on fringe benefits, (HR and accounting handle those issues not the owner/CEO).
2. Insurance/bank fraud concerning the value of assets used for loans or insurance value, (these issues are dealt with by accountants and corporate legal counsel/s along with outside legal firms. Insurance companies and banks ALWAYS use their own in-house or contracted appraisers to set the value of the asset to be insured or the collateral used for loans).
3. And payments in the form of NDA’s to Stormy Daniels and another woman, (depending on how they were listed on the corporate books they could be a business expense deduction or a personal expense associated with Trump’s personal expense account which would be handled by accounting and his lawyers).
I can’t see how any of the above can be placed on Trump. There would be too many layers between the actions and Trump for him to be in any legal jeopardy personally.
Disclaimer: IANAL but have worked for lawyers and in law enforcement for most of my working life. In any normal court this type of case would thrown out on a motion to dismiss or the judge would require the DA to go into mediation in order to come up with a monetary fine/penalty to resolve the case because there is an “intent” required for these to be felonies. Since the tax laws can be very ambiguous there is a high likelihood that the “felony” charge/s would be thrown out during a motion for summary judgement. Civil charges might fly, but again the tax laws are very ambiguous, so I don’t think they would reach the preponderance level of proof.
The defense in these types of cases would have a lot of fun in discovery. There is too much “politics” involved in this case for there not to be an email trail showing animus towards the accused, (corporation and/or individuals).
Trump is in New Jersey.
