Former President Donald Trump is facing yet another legal setback as he navigates a slew of legal challenges. His niece, Mary Trump, recently highlighted a potential new legal issue that could add millions to his already hefty fines.
According to Mary Trump’s post on Monday, Donald Trump is facing a deadline of March 25 to pay New York State nearly half a billion dollars for a fraud judgment entered by Judge Arthur Engoron. This new legal challenge comes at a time when the former president is also preparing for his first criminal trial for election fraud.
Mary Trump also pointed out that Donald Trump recently defamed E. Jean Carroll at a Georgia election rally and then claimed he had no idea who she was in a CNBC interview. Carroll’s attorney, Robbie Kaplan, stated that the statute of limitations for defamation in most jurisdictions is between one and three years, indicating that there may be legal repercussions for Trump’s actions.
Attorney George Conway weighed in, stating that Trump’s decision to choose CNBC to defame Carroll was a significant mistake. Carroll may now file a new case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, potentially leading to further legal troubles for Trump.
Additionally, Mary Trump highlighted a connection between her uncle and Chubb Corp, the company that guaranteed his $92 million bond in the Carroll defamation case. She suggested that Chubb CEO Evan Greenberg may be doing Trump a favor rather than making a sound business decision, pointing out that Trump appointed Greenberg to serve on a White House advisory committee in 2018.
Overall, Donald Trump’s legal troubles continue to mount, and it remains to be seen how these latest developments will impact his legal battles and financial obligations.
