Alina Habba is one of the key attorneys on the civil case in New York City. Within this interview with Larry Kudlow, Habba gives a great overall status update on the case and draws some interesting points that I was unfamiliar with.
The New York AG is using a “consumer fraud statute” as the cornerstone of the case. If you think about it, when it comes to the lender/borrower dynamic, Donald Trump is the consumer in the transaction. The statute that was created to protect the consumer from predatory lenders is being twisted by Lawfare against the consumer, presumably under the auspices of protecting the lenders. The case is built upon a fraudulent premise, reversing the intent of the statute being used. WATCH:
