Jury deliberations begin in Trump Organization criminal fraud trial in New York
CBSJUL 2022
This case is another attempt to undermine Trump and his organization with frivolous lawsuits. Weisselberg has already pleaded guilty and is the clear culprit behind the alleged scheme, yet the former president's opposition is quick to use this as a weapon against him. Democrats seemingly won’t stop until they’ve bled Trump dry via legal warfare.
Attempts to separate Trump from the fraud committed by his company are naïve. While the former president may not be on trial, in this case, there's no doubt that the businessman was fully aware of Weisselberg's — and the rest of the company's — doings. The defense inevitably has a losing case.
