Former GOP congressman David Jolly has stated that former President Donald Trump is getting closer to "losing his own liberty" due to his continued attacks on court staff during his New York civil fraud trial. Trump and his family are being sued for $250 million by the New York Attorney General for allegedly inflating Trump's net worth and the value of his assets. The trial judge has ruled that Trump and his family committed fraud, and the court will also rule on other accusations. Trump's recent posts attacking those involved in the case have led to an increase in threats against the judge and his staff. Jolly believes that Trump's behavior could lead to a loss of personal freedoms or a conviction, which could impact his chances of a 2024 presidential campaign. Jolly also suggests that Trump's behavior benefits President Joe Biden's reelection chances.
