China Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Trump fraud trial judge demands details about possible perjury by Allen Weisselberg The New York judge set to deliver a verdict in the civil business fraud trial of Donald Trump has ordered attorneys in the case to give him details about possible perjury by former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg. Judge Arthur Engoron, in an email to the attorneys made public Tuesday, said that if Weisselberg had lied in one aspect of his testimony, the judge might disregard anything Weisselberg has said on the witness stand or to investigators. Engoron flagged a New York Times report last week that said Weisselberg is negotiating a deal with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office that would require him to plead guilty to perjury. That report, which cited people with knowledge of the matter, said that Weisselberg would have to admit that he lied during his testimony at Trump’s fraud trial in Manhattan Supreme Court. Weisselberg, 76, would also have to say he lied under oath during an interview with the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, the Times reported. James’ civil lawsuit, which is the basis for the trial, accuses Trump, his two adult sons, the Trump Organization and top executives, including Weisselberg, of fraudulently inflating Trump’s net worth on years of financial documents to get more favorable loan terms and tax breaks. Engoron in his email Monday wrote, “As the presiding magistrate, the trier of fact, and the judge of credibility, I of course want to know whether Mr. Weisselberg is now changing his tune, and whether he is admitting he lied under oath in my courtroom at this trial.” The judge said that Weisselberg’s testimony on other topics “could also be called into question” and could form the basis to invoke “falsus in uno,” the legal principle that a witness who lies about one thing loses credibility on all other matters. “I do not want to ignore anything in a case of this magnitude,” Engoron wrote in the email, whose header noted the issue was of “High” importance. The judge ordered lawyers for Trump, his co-defendants and the AG’s office to submit a letter by Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET “detailing anything you know about this that would not violate any of your professional ethics or obligations.” “I would also appreciate knowing how you think I should address the matter, if at all, including the timing of the final decision,” Engoron wrote.

EmirOfShmo Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Gonna put this here...also relates to EJ Carroll verdict Trump 'caught in a trap of his own making' and running for president made it worse: report ... Trump’s sudden cash demands are exacerbated by a quirk in New York law," wrote political investigations reporter Jose Pagliery. "Not only would the judgment get automatically inflated by an unusually high interest rate of 9 percent, but Trump would need to give the court the enlarged total — plus an extra 10 to 20 percent — in order to appeal and have another day in court. And it would all be due by mid-March. The self-proclaimed billionaire real estate tycoon is about to be caught in a trap of his own making," Pagliery added, "forced to front a massive amount of cash and possibly liquidate assets — while potentially unable to access the money, because the court order could limit his ability to tap his Monopoly board of properties." Trump is facing difficulties in finding a surety company or bank to keep him afloat through the appeals process, due in large part to the credibility problems that landed him in court in the first place, and because he's facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison if he's not re-elected as president – either of which would put him out of reach from the creditors he needs to loan him the money. https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-penalty-2667190543/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Maybe the fine people who make Drano can offer him the money if he just drank a bottle of their product on television after recommending all of his followers do the same thing.

It's not just the EJC verdict. It's the expected fraud verdict that could be $370m+ that's going to bust him. He's looking at $500m+/- he has to post up to appeal both verdicts. Cash.

I thought the only line of credit he's had for decades was people wanting to launder money. Edited February 8 by Larry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 It's just not fair...Trump probably could have easily come up with the money for appeal if the FBI had not taken all those classified documents back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The best part is he probably thought this was a great week after getting Georgia prosecutor asked all kinds of uncomfortable questions on the stand just yesterday. I bet he would trade the outcomes of those 2 days if he could. Do you think he already has the escrow put aside to challenge the 80 plus million result or does he need to find that plus this 372 million. Will Putin buy enough condos for him to have money short term? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) He is lucky it is only a ban for 3 years. My question is what company would put him back in charge 3 years from now? Now he may own the company, but if it survives the next 3 years it is likely to be inspite of him, not because of him and his reputation. I doubt many partners/investors miss that point.
