MSNBC host Katie Toole surprised her show’s guests on Friday by asking whether former President Donald Trump suffered a significant shock in New York.
On Friday, a New York judge ordered President Trump to pay $355 million in a civil fraud case. The total penalty after calculating interest is: Approximately $450 million.New York Attorney General Letitia James — Democrat Who campaigned against Trump? — praised the judge’s unprecedented and highly controversial punishment.
Explaining her question, Toole said: Citing an Associated Press analysis, It exposed the unprecedented nature of the case and how New York state’s treatment of Trump contradicted past cases. She explained:
They looked at all cases tried under this rule going back more than 70 years. [New York Civil Practice Law] 6312, used here – no need to indicate any harm. It’s not a burden. There is no need to show that your practice has hurt anyone. No one in particular you deceived.
They went back and looked at over 70 years of cases (I think about 150) and found that there was no case where there was a ban on business where no harm was shown. So while this threshold is purported to be an “indication of harm,” it has so far only been used to prohibit someone from doing business if it is found that they have been harmed. . For example, if you sell cosmetics that cause addiction. There are hurting people out there. Cosmetics companies will be banned.
“My question is, is it fair to go after Donald Trump like this in this environment?” Toole said.
The camera then panned to MSNBC legal reporter Lisa Rubin and New York Times reporter Suzanne Craig, both of whom seemed surprised that Toole even bothered to ask the question.
Neither Rubin nor Craig responded to Toole’s questions. Instead, Mr. Rubin directed Mr. Toole to question Tristan Snell, a former New York assistant attorney general.
Snell, who prosecuted Trump over Trump University, argued that the judge handed down the steep penalty because the evidence of wrongdoing “far exceeded” legal standards.
Then Craig defended The major banks that President Trump allegedly committed fraud against are the “victims.” But Tourle soon took an unfavorable view.
“Listen, I’m not arguing in defense of anyone. They said they didn’t feel like they lost,” Ture said, pointing to banks that do business with President Trump.
New York real estate developers are concerned about the impact of this ruling. Because it’s an open secret that every company is trying to do the same thing as President Trump: get the highest possible value for their real estate while simultaneously minimizing their tax liability.
Why businessman Kevin O’Leary thinks so I explained the results as follows ‘Un-American’ O’Leary said that if the court system were fair, it would punish “every real estate developer on the planet.”
Fortunately for New York real estate developers His name isn’t Trump.Governor Kathy Hochul (Democratic) assured them that “There’s nothing to worry about.”
