Judge rules Trump committed fraud in building real estate empire
The Hill ^ | 09/26/2023 | ELLA LEE AND ZACH SCHONFELD

A New York judge on Tuesday found former President Trump liable for fraud, handing a major legal victory to New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) in her sprawling civil case over Trump’s businesses.

New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron granted James’s request to find Trump liable for the first of seven causes of action she has accused him of in the lawsuit.

Engoron simultaneously denied Trump’s demand to toss the entire suit without trying the case. The non-jury trial on the remaining matters is set to begin Monday, barring Trump’s separate, last-minute effort for a delay.

Engoron also granted James’s request to sanction five of Trump’s lawyers for bringing up already-dismissed arguments in court, ordering them to pay a $7,500 fine each.

BS - our government is outright corrupt and illegitimate.

Meanwhile the Democrats commit high crimes and misdemeanors and are NEVER tried.

The lawsuit alleges Trump’s company sought lower taxes and better insurance coverage by falsely inflating and deflating the value of its assets.

You do not know the market value of an asset until you sell it.

Any attempt to do so is just a guess.

“The lawsuit alleges Trump’s company sought lower taxes and better insurance coverage by falsely inflating and deflating the value of its assets.”

These very low-IQ affirmative action hire judges are clueless. Third party appraisers for both the banks and insurance companies determine value, not Trump.

“claiming more than a decade of fraud. “

Isn’t there a statue of limitations for tax fraud or does it only apply to Hunter.

Question:

Are there any republican judges, District Attorneys, or lawyers bringing charges against Trump????

It all in it’s entirety seems to be 100% politically motivated....

The judge knows all that. The only goal is to bury Trump in lawfare.
