Attorney General Letitia James of New York was criticised by a legal expert and former federal prosecutor for her pursuit of former President Donald Trump, alleging that she is pursuing him for “losses no one ever suffered.”
Andrew McCarthy, a critic of the 45th president, charged James with fabricating crimes in an opinion piece in an attempt to “get Trump.”
Earlier this year, James filed a $250 million civil case against the former president and his business, the Trump Organisation, saying that he committed fraud by inflating the worth of his assets to obtain better loan and insurance rates.
Trump has retorted that throughout the years, he has done business with banks and other businesses, and none of them have ever experienced financial loss or harm.
McCarthy basically agrees with Trump’s position when he writes in National Review that Tish James and Arthur Engoron are fabricating victims because there aren’t enough in the case against the former president.
The former prosecutor continued by saying that banks would have undoubtedly sought legal action against Trump if he had actually defrauded them out of more than $168 million, but they never did since they had never suffered financial loss.
The state attorney general and her cat’s paw in a judge’s robe, Arthur Engoron, and elected progressive Democrat Letitia James, “are not stopping [Trump] from concocting a mammoth fraud scheme in which we’re to believe the banks lost their shirts… but just forgot to complain about it,” he wrote.
He continued by pointing out that Trump had “no incentive to litigate as if he were in a normal legal proceeding” because Engoron had declared that Trump had committed fraud even before the trial had begun. McCarthy said that Trump has been permitted to argue with the judge and the prosecutors in order to show that the case is nothing more than a politicised one.
McCarthy concluded, “It’s an amazing thing to watch: Donald Trump, front-runner in the Republican presidential nomination race, is on trial for supposedly inventing wealth that he didn’t have; and in order to nail him, elected Democrats Tish James and Arthur Engoron are inventing losses that no one ever suffered.” McCarthy had enumerated a litany of arguments that put the James-Engoron theory to shame.
Lately, following a court appearance, Trump continued his criticism of James, ripping her for “smirking” in the courtroom.
