YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We get an update on Donald Trump's civil fraud trial with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter David Cay Johnston. New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking to fine Trump $250 million and is asking for a permanent ban on Trump family members running a business in New York. The outcome of the trial could put the future of the Trump Organization in jeopardy. Trump himself has already been barred from posting or speaking publicly about the trial after his public comments about James, which she described as "race-baiting," and about Judge Arthur Engoron. Johnston, the author of three books on Trump, including _The Big Cheat: How Donald Trump Fleeced America and Enriched Himself and His Family_, says that though this trial doesn't carry with it the potential for incarceration that his criminal trials do, it is just as threatening to the Trump empire because "Donald Trump is his money."
