Trump, Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric could be called to testify at NYC civil fraud trial
NY Post ^ | 09/28/2023 | Ben Kochman

Donald Trump, his adult children, and his former “fixer” Michael Cohen are among the witnesses the New York attorney general plans to call at an upcoming trial over her $250 million lawsuit against the former president.

Trump, 77, is listed as “witness No. 27” in Attorney General Letitia James’ list of people her office anticipates possibly calling to the stand during the Manhattan Supreme Court trial, which could start as soon as Monday and last up to three months.

James’ office, which is seeking at least $250 million and an order barring the ex-commander-in-chief from doing business in New York, also plans to ask Trump’s children Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka to testify as well.

They all need to copycat the Dung Beetle Party’s RATS. TAKE THE FIFTH. THAT’S WHY IT’S THERE! No use risking misspeaking and being charged with perjury. TAKE THE FIFTH!

Can the State show harm to the State?
No one else in NY can claim harm, so the only one left is the State bringing the charges.
SO, in what way was the State damaged?

This is such a slam dunk appeal.

The New York residences of Eric and Don Jr are owned by LLCs subsidiary to the Trump Organizations. Consequently, the judge’s order would likely include those LLCs being dissolved and the assets being sold.

A friend once lost his account on ar15.com for posting, “The next time somebody knocks a building down in New York, I’ll have a Coke.”

Baloney. I don’t remember. I don’t know. 5th Amendment. Over and over. Countersue for harassment.

No question the strategy is to try to convict Trump criminally and bankrupt his business and family civilly.

This is a big perjury trap. THEY SHOULD REFUSE OR TAKE THE 5th.

Its not really the responsible thing to do, but what if states like Florida now started going after Leftist billionaires in the same way?

This entire farse of a “prosecution” would be a Huge Wake Up call for me, and it should be for Every Business Owner or Successful person in the State of New York, to LEAVE NOW and never look back. Because they will come down on you someday in the very near future.

So the statute is written specifically to NOT require any harm to the state OR intent to defraud by the Defendant. All that is required is a mis-valuation. And it’s already been appealed twice and Trump has already lost twice.
SCARY statute. No one should do business in New York.

> TAKE THE FIFTH! <

All a filthy and depraved DA would have to do is give Trump’s children immunity from prosecution. Then they’d have to testify or face jail time for contempt of court.

I think that’s the way it works, anyway.

Your legal advice would result in someone charged with jaywalking getting the death penalty. Juries, especially a jury predisposed against you, tend not to like that sort of presentation. You can’t “countersue for harassment.” If you win at trial and can show there was no probable cause to bring the action in the first place, you can then sue for malicious prosecution. Oh.. and if that was done and successfully concluded several years from now, the taxpayers would pay the damages. The AG faces no downside to her personally
