"Trump's Civil Fraud Trial: Judge's Careful Response and Bomb Threat"
TL;DR Summary
During Donald Trump's New York fraud trial, the judge asked the attorney general's lawyers to compare Trump's alleged fraud to Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. The lawyer stated that while the scale of the fraud was smaller, both cases demonstrated a sense of entitlement. The attorney general's office alleges that Trump inflated his net worth by billions of dollars, and is seeking $370 million in financial penalties along with a permanent ban on Trump running a business in New York. The judge hopes to render a verdict by the end of January.
