Geoff Bennett:
And, as we mentioned, a judge has already found Donald Trump and his co-defendants liable for business fraud.
This trial is aimed at determining the amount of damages. What is at
stake? What are prosecutors seeking?
Russ Buettner:
Prosecutors are seeking a fine that they estimate to be about $250
million. That's a massive bite.
They're also seeking essentially to have a receiver, somebody else put
in charge, of running his company. It seems to make sure that enough
cash would be available on hand to pay whatever fine is ultimately
determined. As part of his order last week, the judge granted the
receivership. That means somebody else will be in charge.
And then there will be this long process to prove these remaining six
counts to see what sort of damages should be assessed in relation to
all this.
Geoff Bennett:
And we should say that Donald Trump didn't have to show up for court
today, but he chose to.
And the anger and frustration was fairly palpable. With a judge
finding last week that Donald Trump and the other defendants have
committed persistent and repeated fraud -- that's a direct quote --
what at this point is the Trump defense?
