Trump's lawyers planting 'legal landmines' as Manhattan fraud trial looks to be a loser

Raw Story  

As Donald Trump's bank fraud trial enters its third week, observers are noting the former president's lawyers appear to be employing a deliberate strategy of dragging it out for a multitude of reasons, one of which includes baiting New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur F. Engoron in an effort to bolster an inevitable appeal. According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, the case filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James looks to be a loser for Trump's legal team, so they are stretching it out to create problems for his other trials -- by making him unavailable to appear -- and handing him time to raise more money to pay his mounting legal bills. According to Pagliery, "By appearing in court during half of the first week at trial, Trump managed to squirm his way out of a potentially devastating deposition in his revenge lawsuit against his former attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen," adding, "Trump, who’s known to say self-incriminating things under oath, would have been forced to answer damning questions about the way he employed Cohen as his mob-like consigliere for years. The Miami federal judge overseeing that case allowed him to skip a scheduled interview session to appear in New York for this trial—only to have Trump quickly ditch the lawsuit last week.
