Trump's NY Lawyers Face Uphill Battle in Fraud Case: Judge Chides Defense

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner predicts that former President Donald Trump's New York legal team's challenging start in the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James is unlikely to improve. During a recent hearing, Judge Arthur Engoron expressed frustration with Trump's attorneys' arguments and warned of potential sanctions. The lawsuit alleges that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth to obtain financial benefits. The case is set to go to trial on October 2, adding to the legal battles Trump is facing. Kirschner believes the judge may issue a partial summary judgment in favor of James, potentially bypassing a trial. Trump's spokespersons have dismissed Kirschner's analysis, calling him a "notorious trafficker of wild conspiracy theories."
