I don't know where this is coming from but three different reporters covering the Trump trial said they are hearing offers of a settlement.
There's been private conversations between the Trump team and the State lawyers.
Alina Habba met with the judge one on one for at least a half hour.
They went to lunch, but court didn't start for while after the break.
Habba then left the courtroom.
If Pres Trump settles it will affect his brand- he won’t do it
A big red flag!!!!!🧧🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑 Could also be that PDJT is giving THEM A WAY OUT OF THE CONUMBDRUM THAT DID TO THEMSELVES!!!!!
After all, PDJT is the author of " The Deal"!!!!!!!
I agree!
I disagree…he has settled before and always makes sure he says “no wrongdoing was admitted”
You pay me 3 BILLION dollars and I don't counter-sue
That's more like it!
Settlement with whom?? Who was defrauded??
You are arguing with a 34-day-old troll.
Settlement with New York state.
In the lawsuit the state asked for several remedies.
These the judge ruled on before trial
Cancellation of Trump’s NY business certificates.
All of Trump’s many LLCs ultimately roll up to just a couple, so this affects Mar a Lago and the Chicago Hotel and golf courses outside of NY. This is on appeal.
But my understanding of this is that it would be like a bankruptcy, the businesses would be dissolved, creditors paid off, any remaining money would go to Trump
An Independent financial monitor over the Trump Organization for 5 years.
These are the issues the trial is about.
$250 million in disgorgement of financial benefits of the fraud plus interest.
NY state had an investment banker testify to disgorgement https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/trump-and-company-saved-168-million-in-loan-interest-as-a-result-of-fraud-banking/article_1dd709b0-78de-11ee-b8cb-7fdfbca658c9.html

No deals involving guilt.

New: Very curious. Sitting here & 25 min late on our planned return.
Trump atty Habba walked out from chambers, alone. Then, AG’s attorneys head in.
Recently, Trump complained about a low-ball settlement offer...
Settlement bid afoot?
They return. We continue. Who knows.
A settlement? Help me here... Are they having to pay Trump for the heinous accusations? Or what is going on here?
Better be! If its the other way around, I'm gonna be livid!
See my other comment.
No. Trump would be making the settlement offer to the state.
From what I understand, in normal situations its the prosecutors who make the settlement offer .
Why would that be?
It's a civil suit. There's no prosecutors.
I think any party could suggest it.
In the Trump University case, it was the judge you told them to try to work it out
Apparently the settlement rumor started with Trump himself. He mentioned the settlement conference on Truth social. yesterday
For context, here's what Trump said on Monday:
"He asked me to settle for a MUCH LOWER AMOUNT, at a settlement conference, but I said NO, I DID NOTHING WRONG!"
A low ball settlement? Talk about an ending that would piss everyone off. 🤣
Elise Stefanik Files JUDICIAL COMPLAINT Against Trump Judge Engoron, and It's GOOD! Viva Frei
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HWiKVoPwIY
She called for a perjury investigation into Michael Cohen today too. Who was a witness in this case and the NY criminal case
It’s hard to come to any useful conclusions without sauce. But, if President Trump is complaining about a low-ball settlement offer it sounds like it is the NY AG’s office that is seeking a settlement. They would love a settlement because they can claim victory without the risk of an appeal where they are likely to be overturned.
I think you nailed it. They think Trump is afraid and will take a chump change settlement to make it go away. Then they claim victory and smear him. Trump is not afraid.
Trump will most likely tell them to go to hell and let's go to trial.
Yup. Trial, and broadcast the proceedings to the whole world.
This is a trial...
It's basically reporters covering the trial and so far it's just talk in the courthouse....outside the courtroom Alina Habba is talking mistrial.
Also Elise Stefaniik who is clearly working with the Trump lawyers just called for an investigation of Michael Cohen for perjury https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-allies-house-call-criminal-probe-michael-cohen-testimony-fraud-t-rcna125112
See my other post. The AG's office already won a gigantic part of the case before trial and are seeking a huge amount of $$$. So there is incentive for Trump to settle. Trump tried to settle this case back in September 2022, right befor the lawsuit was filed the made a last minute pitch to the NY AG.
Thanks!
Case to be dropped? Trump's lawyers should settle for no less than total reimbursement, total expenses AND punitive damages! Perhaps they'll go a step further and file a countersuit against the state of NY, the Judge, the AG and the attorneys involved in the ridiculous lawsuit!
Thanks for the update JRH!
Maybe trump has him by the balls and is asking that the case be dropped.
The Judge wont either. Drip Drip.
People this is a 34-day-old troll account that you are arguing with.
Why doesn't Trump just incorporate in another state? Why worry about NY state LLCs?
well I would think that Trump tower and other holdings inNYC is worth 10 golf courses, and Mar a Largo. 40 wall street, Trump Park Avenue, Trump International Hotel and Tower, Central Park West, where he owns all the services, he has ground leases on very expensive real estate, units and condos in 4 other luxury buildings. Manhattan NYC still has one of the highest real estate values in the world. It would be a big loss.
That is precisely why the banks gave him a low interest loan. Also probably because they would rather have a sure thing at low interest than lose his business to another bank. AG is showing her malice. She and the judge both belong in jail.
He can hold all of those assets in a corporation incorporated in another state so he wouldn't lose anything. People incorporate in Delaware all the time to save taxes and their holdings don't actually exist in Delaware. However if what JollyRancherHard said is what happened, then I can understand that injunction would stop him.
Basically because he can't.
Look up Trump Organization II LLC.
He tried to set that up in Delaware the day the lawsuit against him in New York came out. The New York AG went to court and got an injunction prohibiting him from moving any assets to new corporations.
Gotcha - missed that part. What a bunch of bullshit.
Settlement should be Trump exonerated of all charges. Reimbursed for all expenses. And The judge and DA admit to being big doo doo heads.
