Trump ordered to pay New York Times nearly $400k in legal fees for 'frivolous' lawsuit
Donald Trump's lawsuit against a trio of New York Times reporters was dismissed over a year ago but now a judge has ordered that he must pay those reporters involved nearly $400,000 in legal fees.
He should be ordered to pay something back to the American public for his frivolous term in office.
There's a motion being proposed to make Trump give up the $8+ *7.8 million in foreign donations he illegally accepted while in office.
Is there a breakdown on who donated to him? Maybe I can find some Hungarian GONGO there, to use it as an argument against the sovereignty law.
I think we are all due some money from all the pain and suffering he's inflicted on this nation.
The New York, Attorney General is trying to get $370 million for the people of New York
Ought to, but I don't imagine it would be easy to get politicians on board with that.
Soooooo what happens when he never pays it?
This will be part of where the seized assets go as they are all liquidated. Basically the NYT will make a claim in court after the sentence on the civil fraud case is decided. At this point, every person Trump ever owed money to will be going after their piece.
thats never going to happen.
I love you fucking nerds.
I hate that single note more than any other note of music. I have been woken from a deep slumber by that stupid sad trombone note too damn many times.
Yeah, he's never going to willingly pay that bill. A court will have to order the money taken from him.
I like the idea of him defying the order and the Times getting one of those court orders that let them seize various of his possessions until they reach the amount owed. Could you imagine the fit he would throw if they walked in and had a plumber start removing his gold toilet? I also wonder what things they might find as they seize his stuff - what if there's another box of national secrets next to the gold toilet?
I think it'll be pretty easy for them, actually. Once the sentence in the civil fraud cause is decided, they should be able to make a claim.
Even then, get in line.
Has he ever paid for anything?
Stormy Daniels 🍆💦
Nobody knows more about losing frivolous lawsuits than Donald Trump believe me.
Big strong men come up to him, with tears in their eyes, saying "how do you do it, sir? How do you lose so many lawsuits?!!!"
Probably the best thing he is good at.
YUGE abuse of the legal system! The YUGEST!
So much winning
You misspelled whining.
If he actually has to pay this, he'll be just redistributing his teabagger fanboi money to the NYT...
On the plus side, it will be hilarious for said teabagger fanbois to know that they indirectly funded NYT.
I mean, not the NYT directly, but whichever law firm represents them. Probably a lib one though which would still get their blood boiling.
Is there a website that tracks what he's been mandated to pay by courts and what he's actually paid?
I'd like to see some follow up. Does he ever pay any of these fines?
He wipes his ass with $400k though. So stupid.
He doesn't though. He talks a big game about how rich he is, but it's all talk - he is leveraged up to his eyeballs, his businesses hemorrhage money, and sooner or later someone is going to start calling in those debts and the whole thing will unravel - this is what the NYC fraud case is about; he lied about his finances to get loans that he wouldn't have been able to get if people had known how little money he actually has
It's another loss, and it hurts him. Take the small win. And this isn't the only thing he needs to worry about.
