Judge Hits Trump with BRUTAL Ruling, Lawsuit BACKFIRES - Meidas Touch



The team of Trump and Habba strike again, as a New York judge awards the New York Times almost $500,000 in attorneys fees because Trump violated their First Amendment rights by suing them over a Pulitzer Prize winning article that detailed Trump and his father’s tax fraud that let Trump pocket almost $500 million when his father died in 1999.

Michael Popok of Legal AF explains that yet another legal screw up by Habba by filing a suit in direct violation of a NY statute that had just been amended TO ADDRESS TRUMP’S OWN LITIGATION MISCONDUCT, led to the judge’s easy decision. - 01/15/2024.[/b

Trump cheated on taxes for his Father. His whole life has been spent, cheating, lying and lawsuits to intimidate.

New York changed the law to stop frivolous law suits like Trumps. The article was based on Mary Trumps records

Susanne Craig actually came to Mary's door to ask for her help getting information and it took her awhile to finally decide to help. But back then she still had access to the family attorney so she was able to access the records that helped with the story - I think it was published in 2017, so TFG finally got around to seeking "revenge??" And Mary also said that the entire family was adverse to paying taxes. Guess they learned it from their wealthy father - and he was the one who made the money, as we know, all of TFG's businesses failed.
