In her latest video, New York Attorney General Letitia James admitted her guilt in compromising former President Donald Trump’s right to due process. This comes after she claimed that Judge Arthur Engoron had found Trump guilty of “significant financial fraud” even before the current trial began.
Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies.
Last month, The Gateway Pundit reported that a Deutsche Bank executive who worked to approve at least one of Trump’s loans testified that it is “atypical, but not entirely unusual” to reduce a client’s asset values and still approve a loan.
This type of lending is typical in high net-worth, high-profile clients like Donald Trump. Anyone with basic knowledge of banking, lending, portfolio and credit risk management knows this.
“A Deutsche Bank AG executive gave testimony that could bolster Donald Trump’s defense in his civil fraud trial, telling a New York judge that prospective clients can get loans even after reporting a net worth far higher than the lender’s own calculations,” Bloomberg reported.
Williams testified that Trump’s stated assets are merely an opinion and a difference of opinion in asset values does not disqualify the potential borrower from a loan.
“It’s just a difference of opinion,” Williams said.
In an interview with FOX News, Trump’s attorney, Halina Habba, said that the Deutsche Bank AG executive told the court that Letitia James’ complaint has no merit.

I don’t waste my time on either
Agreed. In New York, cases in equity fall under the rubric of nonjury (bench) trials. Also, motions for summary judgement or partial summary judgment are common.
Nice to read the opinions of that smart lawyer from Canada. Great to see intelligent men of the legal profession speaking out.
But what are the United States? How many of the 1 million U.S. lawyers are speaking out about his travesty of justice?
Bullshit! If that was true, Hillary Clinton would have been in prison long ago.
>he got his loan, he paid it back, the bank made money.<
The American way!
Where’s the fraud?
grounds for a mistrial right here.
of course, President Trump couldn’t get a fair trial in any blue district.
in a sane world...
So, I guess all we have to do is find a corrupt judge that will find Hunter and joey and Nancy et al “guilty before the trial begins”. Remember the dems have set the rules. This would NOT be retribution just following their lead. Not “going after” them just doing unto them what they have done to repubs.
You didn’t even bother going to the site. If you had, you wouldn’t have made that comment. Instead, you chose to show the world that it’s not only liberals who say things without checking facts first
What does Hoff have to do with it? He linked to Bloomberg. Posted videos of other lawyers. Most GP stories are linked from other sites.
Why do some people want stories hidden?
Why would anyone do business in New York???
The Trump family built their wealth doing business in NY. Me, I am in the process of selling my NY business and moving someplace warm to retire.
Come to Florida. You are on FR so you won’t likely bring NY politics with you.
We need legal reform in the US - comprehensive legal reform. The manner in which data comes in to courts needs to be entirely restructured. It should not be possible for an attorney for either the prosecution/plaintiff or defense/defendant to steer the narrative by limiting the ability of a plaintiff or a defendant to verbally convey their complete and entire truth.
Also, the ability for people to use the courts as a way to punish people financially by forcing them to spend enormous legal fees to defend themselves has to stop. Legal costs are completely out of hand. Perhaps we should have a Medicare-like legal insurance that allows people to defend themselves without being ruined financially, and that caps hourly attorney rates.
We are moving to AZ where our votes may still make a difference on the state and local levels. (Our children and grandchildren also live in the southwest.)

Any way of downloading the pdf in the AP article?
