Trump's New York Fraud Trial Witness Testifies and Ruins Trump's Defense

Last week, Colorado Judge Sarah Wallace entered a finding that Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021. However, Judge Wallace went on to rule that the 14th Amendment does not disqualify a president who engaged in an insurrection from again serving as president of the United States. Both parties have now filed appeals in the case. Trump has appealed the judge's finding that he engaged in an insurrection, and Crew - the organization that brought the suit on behalf of Colorado voters - appealed her ruling that Trump is not disqualified by the 14th Amendment. Glenn says one of the important factors in assessing the likely result on appeal involves the different standards of review that are applied to a trial court's factual determinations versus its legal determinations. Then, if you thought the New York fraud trial couldn't get any worse for Donald Trump - it just did. In a colossal tactical blunder, Trump's own lawyer put a witness on the stand that, as the Business Insider reported, "ties (Trump) to the conspiracy." Trump's lawyers called as a witness longtime comptroller for the Trump Organization Jeffrey McConney. After Trump had previously testified that he knew little to nothing about the annual net-worth statements of his own business, McConney testified that the statements were actually provided to Trump for his final review. Indeed, the attorney for the New York Attorney General's office cross-examined McConney with his own hand-written note on the financial documents that plainly stated, " DJT to get final review." Glenn says - in other words, Trump's own lawyers called a witness that blew up their client's defense.
