Trump’s Legal Problems Get Even Worse
Donald Trump’s legal problems just got a lot worse. The New York state fraud investigation is civil in nature, but perjury is still illegal. For years, lawyers representing Trump have done everything that they could to keep him far away from the witness stand, because he is a perjury charge waiting to happen.
The depositions that AG James is conducting could provide more information to the criminal investigation into Trump’s business that is ongoing in Manhattan because both the state and local investigations are sharing information.
Donald Trump claims that these investigations are a conspiracy against him, but the reality is that these investigations are happening because the Trumps have been potentially engaged in criminal activity for decades.
The facade of wealth and success is crumbling on Trump, as the potential con that was the source of his cash is systematically being revealed.
