Donald Trump faces twin legal crises on Monday in New York, where he could see the possible seizure of his storied properties over a massive fine as he separately fights to delay a criminal trial even further.
Former US President and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump gestures after speaking during the Pray Vote Stand summit at the Omni Shoreham hotel in Washington, DC on September 15, 2023. – Former US president Donald Trump said he plans to appear in a New York court on October 2 for the opening of a trial in which he is accused of a years-long scheme to inflate the value of real estate and financial assets.
If Trump is unable to provide the needed bond — and his lawyers have said they have tried in vain to secure one — then “obviously his image would change dramatically, I would think, for many people, because he has said that he’s a billionaire and very successful,” Andrew Weissmann, a former federal prosecutor and author of the book “The Trump Indictments,” told AFP.
His lawyers have pursued every possible avenue to delay his many trials — if possible until after the November 5 presidential elections. They also want the trial to wait until the US Supreme Court rules on his claim to have absolute immunity for actions taken while he was president.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
