New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) in a new filing asked a state judge to sanction former President Trump, his two adult sons and their legal team for $20,000, saying they continue to bring up arguments already rejected in court.
James — who is suing the former president, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the Trump Organization and others for $250 million over allegations that they falsely inflated their assets — argued Tuesday that arguments raised by Trump’s legal team have been struck down twice by the court. An appeals court also separately rejected the claims.
When the Trump legal team raised the arguments the second time, the judge noted that they “were borderline frivolous even the first time defendants made them” and said that a “sophisticated defense counsel should have known better,” according to Tuesday’s filing.
Trump’s legal burn rate is over $1.5m per week based on the first half of 2023 - before several of the newer charges were added.
While I don’t disagree with your point, it’s worth pointing out that the legal battles are ruining him, and adding more to fight (because he won’t concede his frivolous arguments are frivolous) only ramps that up.
