While denying yet another motion for a directed verdict, Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial judge expressed clear contempt for the former president’s expert witnesses, writing that one only proved that “for a million or so dollars, some experts will say whatever you want them to say.”
high-profile defendant’s lawyers sought to “terminate immediately all remaining causes of action” in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ (D) case against the Trump Organization, the former president, Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump.
While the case is on a break until January, Clifford Robert, an attorney for the defendants, last Friday filed a letter motion arguing that James’ evidence is “simply insufficient” to show that the state is entitled to “disgorgement,” which is the “remedy requiring a party who profits from illegal or wrongful acts to give up any profits they made as a result of that illegal or wrongful conduct.”
