The lawyers representing Trump have now imperiled their own licenses to practice law. Charming. But just as we said last here on January 6, 2023 -- this is going to end badly for Team Trump.
Here's just a bit of the overnight letter from the NY AG's office, in the civil frauds trial in Manhattan.
. . .As explained in greater detail below, each of the Verified Answers is deficient in a host of ways. Defendants [Team Trump] falsely deny facts they have admitted in other proceedings, they deny knowledge sufficient to respond to factual allegations that are plainly within their knowledge, and they propound affirmative defenses that have been repeatedly rejected by this Court as frivolous and without merit. . . .
Each of the Verified Answers asserts dozens of “Affirmative Defenses” that have already been (repeatedly) rejected by the Court. For example, the Court recently ruled that the Defendants’ claims that the Attorney General lacks capacity or standing to sue “were borderline frivolous even the first time defendants made them.” NYSCEF No. 453 at 3. Nevertheless Mr. Trump and his co-defendants raise those claims—standing, authority, capacity to sue, etc. -- yet again, this time as putative affirmative defenses. . . .
In a word. . . I N S A N E.
