Law professor Jonathan Turley criticized the recent fraud verdict against Donald Trump, deeming the $355 million fine excessive as there was no financial harm to the banks involved.
Turley highlighted that the banks considered Trump a valuable client and had no complaints about fraud.
“Part of the disconnect here is that you have what will be over $455 million if you include interest and then, on the other side of the ledger, you have $0,” Turley said.
Jonathan Turley: “There’s not a single dollar lost by these ‘victims’. In fact, the people that James calls the victims actually wanted to do more business with Donald Trump. They said they made a lot of money and…viewed him as a whale client—they wanted more loans with him.” pic.twitter.com/aC6KLPD1fY

”There’s not a single dollar lost by these victims,” he said.
“In fact, the people that [Attorney General Letitia] James calls the victims actually wanted to do more business with Donald Trump. They said they made a lot of money and they viewed him as a ‘whale’ client, they wanted more loans with him.”
Attorney General Letitia James filed charges despite lack of victim complaints, leading to criticism of her motives.
