Trump's N.Y. fraud trial lawyers are in big trouble with the judge: former prosecutor

Raw Story  

Reacting to the transcript from a hearing in a New York court room where Judge Arthur F. Engoron harshly criticized lawyers representing Donald Trump in his $250 million fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner remarked that the hearing could not have gone worse for the beleaguered legal team. Appearing on MSNBC with host Jonathan Capehart early Saturday morning, the former federal prosecutor noted the brutal language the judge used in shooting down the attorney's arguments and said there are indications it will only get worse for the former president's lawyers. "And I love this because Trump's attorney argued, with respect to Donald Trump inflating grossly the value of his properties, his attorney said well, judge, he is a master at finding value in his properties where others do not. He later added, "At every turn Judge Engoron was calling Trump's defense attorneys out on their nonsense and I don't think it is going to get any better for them moving forward."
