New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) in a new filing asked a state judge to sanction former President Trump, his two adult sons and their legal team for $20,000, saying they continue to bring up arguments already rejected in court.
James — who is suing the former president, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the Trump Organization and others for $250 million over allegations that they falsely inflated their assets — argued Tuesday that arguments raised by Trump’s legal team have been struck down twice by the court. An appeals court also separately rejected the claims.
When the Trump legal team raised the arguments the second time, the judge noted that they “were borderline frivolous even the first time defendants made them” and said that a “sophisticated defense counsel should have known better,” according to Tuesday’s filing.
That’s really unfair of them to deny his lawyers the ability to use a crummy, previously rejected defense. He doesn’t have a good defense because he’s guilty." But it’s not like he’s going to ever admit guilt, so all he can do is trot out the same tired bullshit, however nonsensical. Can’t we take pity on a poor, brain addled failed insurrectionist and coup leader who tried to destroy our country for his own personal gain? I mean, what’s the big deal?
