Of course no one will lend Donald Trump the half-billion dollars he needs to put up while appealing his fraud case. Would you? In recent months, the former president has racked up a series of costly legal judgments for his many misdeeds. And when I say “costly,” I mean slightly pricier than the Trump-brand gold sneakers. In fact, after summing up the judgments across all of Trump’s cases so far, he already owes more than the entire gross domestic product of several island nations — put together. In the most expensive case, Trump was found liable for lying about the value of his real estate assets so he could get better terms on loans and insurance. In that judgment, he owes $464 million, after interest. He’s appealing the case, which was brought by the New York attorney general. In the meantime, a judge has said Trump must put up cash or bond to prove he’s good for the money and isn’t appealing merely to delay payment for a while. Got that? Trump owes this money because he fraudulently misrepresented the value of his assets, and now apparently no one will accept those assets as collateral. Oops. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/03/18/trump-civil-fraud-case-appeal-bond/

Proving that in America, anyone can graduate from law school, pass a bar exam and hang out a shingle. Pro-Trump lawyer Stefanie Lambert surrendered Thursday to Michigan authorities in connection with her 2020 election tampering indictment, after a wild week where she was labeled a fugitive and spent a night in jail after being arrested in Washington, DC. The special prosecutor who charged Lambert in Michigan, DJ Hilson, confirmed that she turned herself in Thursday morning and appeared in Oakland County Circuit Court. www.cnn.com/2024/03/21/politics/stefanie-lambert-pro-trump-lawyer-arrest/index.html

A somewhat under the radar story. I won't pretend to understand this as corporate law is foreign to me. But I'm sure if it involves the Grifter, there's some corruption involved. Trump Media, launched after an insurrection, faces rebellion of its own After Trump was booted from Twitter following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, three men played pivotal roles in building and promoting Trump Media as an online challenger against the “cancel culture” of Big Tech: Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss, former “Apprentice” contestants who co-founded the company and launched Truth Social; and Patrick Orlando, who as chief executive of Digital World, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, offered Trump’s company a path to investor cash. But all three are now leading a rebellion of their own, confronting and potentially imperiling a trophy of Trump’s post-presidential ambitions. Their lawsuits call into question how Trump Media’s shares will be distributed, and a legal victory could chip away at Trump’s equity during a time when he is facing a cash crunch. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/03/21/truth-social-trump-merger-lawsuits/

And a new partner could be the lawyer who “loaned” Hunter $5 million, made payments to Hunter’s ex-wife and his stripper-baby-momma, and paid $875k for one of his paintings.

Grifter lying again? Trump claims he has $500 million in cash, undercutting his lawyers Former president Donald Trump claimed Friday that he had “almost $500 million” in cash, undercutting his lawyers’ previous statements that he would not be able to pay a bond of more than $450 million to secure a massive judgment in his New York civil fraud case. “I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president,” Trump said Friday morning in a TruthSocial post in all caps. He then claimed New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron was aware of his cash on hand, and set the bond in that range on purpose. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/22/trump-500-million-civil-fraud/
