Former President Donald Trump had some amazing news to share when he stepped outside the NYC courtroom this afternoon. According to the GOP leading candidate, roughly 80% of the civil case against him is set to be dismissed based on the judge’s remarks.
This latest development comes after last week when Judge Arthur Engoron rejected Trump’s request for a delay on the civil trial which was brought against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The accusations center around fraud and inflating his net worth by billions of dollars with alleged assistance from his children.
Expressing his dissatisfaction with not being entitled to a jury trial, which he believes is fundamental in the United States, Trump remarked: “As you know, we’re not entitled to a jury, which is pretty unusual in the United States of America. So we think it’s very unfair that I don’t have a jury.”
However, he did acknowledge the judge’s fairness during proceedings and invited one of his lawyers to provide further clarification on the matter.
His legal team provided insight by stating, “Based on the judge’s comments at the end of the trial today, it would appear that he is agreeing that all the transactions that closed prior to 2014 are now out of the case” which accounts for about 80% of the case.
Not surprisingly, Trump has been vocal about believing this investigation is politically motivated labeling it “the greatest witch hunt”.
He wrote earlier today on Truth Social: “Just arrived at the courthouse to fight a corrupt & racist Attorney General, and a rogue, out of control, Trump hating judge who refuses to follow appellate court decision which knocks out 80% of this sham case.”
It appears as though Donald Trump will continue fighting and refusing what he believes are unjust allegations from those opposing him despite this recent legal win.
