Ex-Prosecutor: Looks Like Trump Ran 'Fraud Business With A Sideline In Real Estate'

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING A former prosecutor said the findings of the New York attorney general’s probe into Donald Trump’s business dealings are “insane,” and he predicts there “really isn’t a lot of room for him to wiggle his way out of this.” “It really looks like the Trump family was running a fraud business with a sideline in real estate, as opposed to the other way around,” commentator Tristan Snell, a former New York assistant attorney general who worked on the Trump University case, said on MSNBC. She’s seeking to bar them from conducting business in the state, make them pay about $250 million in restitution and limit their access to lending..@TristanSnell: "It really looks like the Trump family was running a fraud business with a sideline in real estate, as opposed to the other way around." It’s actually worth 100 million.’ And thinking you’re gonna get away with that.” During her news conference Wednesday, James offered several examples of false or misleading asset valuations used in Trump’s statements out of what she said was a total of more than 200. “The fact that he pled the Fifth to 440 different questions means that he doesn’t really have any legs to stand on here because anything that he might say in defense, the AG’s office is going to be able to say, ‘Well, you already basically admitted to it.’” When someone invokes their Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination in a criminal trial, a jury cannot infer guilt based on the defendant’s silence.
