The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday awarded Trump an additional $121,962.56 in attorney fees from porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford. This is in addition to the $500,000 Stormy already owes Trump for her baseless defamation case against the former president. The order came down from the federal appeals court just as Trump left court for his arraignment on charges stemming from so-called ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/just-in-federal-appeals-court-awards-trump-additional-122000-in-attorney-fees-from-stormy-daniels/ .
B-Man Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 Trump answers questions for 7 hours in NY fraud lawsuit Associated Press, by Michael R. Sisak NEW YORK— Former President Donald Trump answered questions for nearly seven hours Thursday during his second deposition in a legal battle with New York’s attorney general over his company’s business practices, reversing an earlier decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination and remain silent. The Republican met all day with lawyers for Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump last year. Her lawsuit claims Trump and his family misled banks and business associates by giving them false information about his net worth and the value of assets such as hotels and golf courses. https://apnews.com/article/trump-james-deposition-new-york-lawsuit-b1c54ef7a73142dc6379cc23e66ba2bb .

I don't really know, maybe one of our resident legal eagles can shed more light. Haven't heard a talking head analysis. I thought the premise was that he OVER valued property to obtain loans against that portfolio. So the civil suit is that the State should’ve been able to use that higher value on taxes? Seems ridiculous. The State assesses property values in a different way than what someone might use as ‘value’ in seeking a business loan. Again, I’m not a lawyer but I refuse to believe that this exact sort of thing has not been looked at by the courts literally hundreds of times in the past. There must be a precedent. And finally, if you’ve ever been involved in a civil suit you’d know that strategy of both the plaintiffs and defense can shift over time. It isn’t a sign of anything.
B-Man Posted June 11, 2023 Posted June 11, 2023 ROGER KIMBALL: Can Trump Clean The Augean Stables on the Potomac? The indictment against Trump was formally brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith. But the Journal is right. Smith is just an errand boy. “Americans will inevitably see this as a Garland-Biden indictment,” they noted, “and they are right to think so.” Indeed. Elon Musk, no fan of Trump’s, put his finger on an essential element in this saga: “There does seem,” he wrote on June 8, responding to the indictment, “to be far higher interest in pursuing Trump compared to other people in politics.” How’s that for understatement? Almost as good, I’d say, as his deployment of the future tense in his follow-up sentence: “Very important that the justice system rebut what appears to be differential enforcement or they will lose public trust.” That ship has sailed, I regret to say. Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is as corrupt as Hunter Biden’s laptop. Few people of either party trust it, nor should they. What we need now is a bold new Hercules who can cleanse the Augean stables on the Potomac. It seems unlikely, I know, and perhaps supremely ironical, but the name of that cleansing hero may just be Donald J. Trump. Read the whole thing. https://amgreatness.com/2023/06/10/can-trump-clean-the-augean-stables-on-the-potomac/ 1
