What\u2019s being\u2063 argued now boils \u200bdown to the penalties.<\/p>\n<p>So, naturally, Engoron had no\u200b use for Trump\u2019s reading the Disclaimer \u2063document.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would love to read this, Your Honor, if I could?\u201d Trump said, according to \u200dthe\u200b Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot at this \u2064point, not \u2062at this point,\u201d Engoron replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m shocked,\u201d Trump answered.<\/p>\n<p>The dispute over the document eventually set off a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-clashes-combative-judge-witness-stand-ny-fraud-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">witness stand eruption<\/a> by the 45th president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe called me a \u2063fraud and he didn\u2019t know \u2063anything about \u2064me!\u201d\u200d Trump shouted, pointing at Engoron, according to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2064 then included James in\u200d his denunciation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fraud\u200c is on the court and not on me \u2026 the fraud is \u2064on her!\u201d he\u2062 said, the Post reported.<\/p>\n<p>Courtroom outbursts\u2063 are rarely justified, of course, but if ever one was, it was \u2062this one.<\/p>\n<p>At\u200b the same time that he decided Trump\u200d was guilty of fraud on Sept. 26, Engoron declared that Disclaimer statements were no defense, as the Post reported.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do \u2062they\u2064 not \u201cinsulate the defendants from liability,\u201d Engoron wrote, according to the \u200dPost, but they\u2064 also \u201cput the onus for accuracy squarely on defendants\u2019 shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the judge\u2019s legal reasoning, that\u2019s\u2062 pretty much the \u200bopposite of reality. The \u201conus\u201d of a bank\u2019s decision on whether to invest in a business like Trump\u2019s rests on the bank itself, based on documentation\u200b that\u2019s far \u2064more extensive than the\u200d potential borrower\u2019s estimation of his net worth and ability to repay it.<\/p>\n<p>On the stand Monday, Trump made\u2062 it clear that he thought \u2062the Disclaimer vindicated him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a Disclaimer clause\u2064 that says do your own due diligence, don\u2019t under any circumstances count on\u200c anything in here,\u201d he said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/11\/06\/trump-civil-fraud-trial-00125515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a>. \u201cIf you were borrowing money \u2026 they were not really documents that the banks paid much attention to. They looked at the deal, they looked \u200cat the asset \u2026 but these were not very important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fact that\u2062 a \u200dcivil \u200clawsuit is being brought in a case that\u2019s supposedly based on that \u200cestimation \u2014 as though \u200dthe bankers\u2063 who backed\u200c Trump just rolled\u2064 into\u2064 town on a load of \u200cturnips\u200b with hay in their hair and a billion dollars in their pockets\u2063 \u2014 is\u200c beyond ridicule.<\/p>\n<p>The fact \u200cthat the \u200cjudge in the case is disallowing a document that makes that clear to all\u200d parties concerned that the borrower\u2019s estimation is not \u2062to be trusted puts it in the \u200brealm of disgrace.<\/p>\n<p>In a sane world, no attorney general would approach\u2063 such a \u200bcase. No \u200bjudge would\u2062 let it proceed. And no judge certainly\u200b would run the case the way Ergoron has.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying, of course, that \u200dthe judge is a Democrat, as is James, as is the entire power structure in New \u200cYork City and the state of New York.<\/p>\n<p>It also is a fact of American politics that Donald Trump is the single most visible, influential threat to the\u200c power of President Joe Biden\u2019s Democratic administration in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>And Americans are supposed to believe that the party whose calling\u200b card is bankruptcy \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/democrats-accuse-gop-mere-political-pandering-protecting-kids-trans-agenda-mutilation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moral bankruptcy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/see-teachers-union-ad-attack-extremists-threat-education-not-think\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intellectual \u200cbankruptcy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-california-headed-whopping-54-3-billion-budget-deficit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial bankruptcy<\/a> \u2014 knows more about money than the financial giants of the financial\u2062 capital of the world \u2014 who looked at Trump \u200band \u200dhis company \u200dand decided he was a bet worth taking\u200d when they lent him money.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Post, the state is expected to rest its case after its \u200bfinal witness, Trump\u2019s daughter \u200dIvanka, takes the stand on Wednesday, \u200cwith \u2063the proceedings wrapped\u2063 by mid-December.<\/p>\n<p>Even\u2063 a show trial \u2062needs a curtain at some point.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>A Note from Our \u2062Founder:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><b>Silicon Valley and the Big Tech tyrants \u200bhave done everything they can to\u200b put The Western Journal out \u2062of \u2063business.

While he\u2063 was not allowed to read it out\u200b loud, it is clear that he believes \u2064the \u200ddocument proves his innocence in the case.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Post suggests that the document is a Disclaimer notice, something that is\u2062 commonly used in major financial transactions. This particular Disclaimer likely warned lenders that they should\u200c conduct their own valuations of Trump properties before deciding to lend money to the Trump \u2063Organization.\u2064 This implies \u2062that Trump and his business did not intentionally overvalue their assets, but rather relied on the lenders themselves to determine their worth.<\/p>\n<p>The civil suit, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Trump and his business overvalued their \u2062assets in order to obtain more\u200c favorable loan terms. However, as the Western \u2062Journal\u200c points out, the suit does not claim\u200d that any person or entity was \u2062actually harmed, as all loans were repaid \u2062with the \u200dagreed-upon \u2063interest.<\/p>\n<p>It \u2062is important to remember \u2064that the\u200d banks and financial institutions \u200cinvolved\u200c in\u2063 these \u2062transactions are\u2064 not new to the business.\u200b These are experienced and highly paid professionals who are well-versed \u2063in evaluating risks and making sound lending decisions.\u2064 It is quite unlikely that they would blindly lend\u2064 millions of dollars based solely on the word of a borrower, without conducting\u2064 their own\u2063 due diligence.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it is questionable whether the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nevada-trump-campaign-says-clark-county-registrar-joe-gloria-hiding-from-subpoena-service\/\" title=\"Nevada: Trump Campaign Says Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria Hiding From Subpoena Service\">state attorney general<\/a>, especially one from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-pulls-out-paper-from-his-suit-during-testimony-says-it-completely-vindicates-him\/\" title=\"Trump brandishes paper from suit during testimony, claims total vindication.\">state facing significant fiscal challenges<\/a> like New York, would be better equipped\u2064 to safeguard\u2064 private bank \u2062money than the \u2063bank managers themselves.<\/p>\n<p>However, it appears that James is determined to go after Trump, as she promised during her campaign. \u2063The\u2062 New \u2062York Supreme Court Justice \u200cpresiding over the case, Arthur Engoron, has also displayed a clear bias against the former \u2062president throughout the proceedings. Trump&#8217;s own disdain for Engoron is evident, as he has openly criticized the \u2062judge&#8217;s conduct.<\/p>\n<p>The trial \u2063is ongoing, and it remains to be seen \u200bhow\u200d this piece\u2063 of paper will\u200b impact \u200cthe outcome. But Trump&#8217;s\u200d decision\u2064 to pull it out during his testimony \u2064certainly added a dramatic\u200c twist to the proceedings. Only time will tell if it truly vindicates \u2062him or not.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is clear, though. This \u2064trial is more than just a legal battle between Trump and his accusers. It is a high-stakes political \u200bshowdown that will have far-reaching implications, not only for Trump&#8217;s future, but \u200calso for the concept of justice under the law in New York.<\/p>\n<p>As the case continues to\u2063 unfold, it is essential to approach it with a critical eye and consider the motivations and biases at play. In the\u2062 end, the truth will prevail, and justice will be \u2062served. Whether that justice aligns \u2063with Trump&#8217;s claims of\u200c vindication or\u2064 not remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the high-profile political trial of ex-President Donald Trump, a pivotal moment occurred.
