Trump's legal woes are skyrocketing. His lawyers promoting litigation to overturn the election now face sanctions hearings in Michigan for making false claims in court filings. Trump also plans to sit for a deposition in his social media lawsuit as the criminal probe into his namesake company continues. Dr. Jason Johnson is joined by former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance to discuss the legal storm Trump faces.

Sidney Powell: No reasonable person would believe the things I said about voter fraud.
Judge: Are you arguing fraud?
Giuliani: No I am not arguing fraud.
Lmfao.
.exactly
Giuliani – I’m arguing fraud everywhere, apart from in this courtroom.
Yep that’s exactly what she said even though she lied to trumpsters to their faces and then comes out with this statement they all are so gullible and naive
@Sukhbir Sekhon He did say he just wanted to talk about it but at least he was honest and told the judge know your honor I don’t have any proof of fraud because if he lied and said he did he would have been disbarred but I kind of think about it maybe he should have been disbarred for the constantly lying
@Tammy Brothers
Giuliani honest? That ship sailed a long time ago. But you and people like you persist in making excuses for them. Either through ignorance or a wilful attempt to add to the chaos and confusion. I tend to think the latter.
The man is a carnival barker. Fundraising is his ultimate goal with this lawsuit.
@Joe Smoothe Trump only cares about himself and the US was the laughing stock of the world when he was Prez!
All you fools send money
@Michael LAre you even on the same planet as the rest of the world? Is your head that deep in the sand,it must be if you need to ask that question?
@David Gray Majority of them are. 53 % of his base still think he won.
@Joe Smoothe BUT HER EMAILS. AND TRUMP’S ANOINTING. AND JESUS. AND SATAN. AND THE CHILDREN. AND THE CHILDREN’S EMAILS. AND THE CHILDREN’S LAPTOPS.
Rudy sound like his life is trying to scape his decaying body. He sounds awful.
Go back to any reich wing video right after the 2016 election. All of them have smiles that cover their entire faces. Now, watch the same people today. They all have such sad sack faces that you would not know they are the same people.
So far, those deniers that Biden wasnt legally voted in as President are starting to look pretty dumb so far because I seen no smoking gun. Just throwing out red herrings people.
If Joe Biden wasnt Legally President? Then HOW is he making EXECUTIVE orders? Meeting with other countries according to Paris Climate and other decisions? Hes protected by the secret service? Living in the WH? Sending out stimulus checks to people in hardship? Pushing life saving immunizations? Bringing home our soldiers from Afganistan? Hummm must be magic? Or his twin..At least Biden didn’t CHEAT his way to the Presidency and hes NOT insuing riots everywhere, Or Starving and killing our people into oppression..and depression. I’m sure we’re all smart enough to know truth from LIES!.
@T Dickson “You’ll see and then you’ll all be sorry!! WAAAAAAH!” It’s all Cult45 has anymore.
@ra5928 Herr 45* been telling his cult for years “if I win it was fair, is I lose it’s because the election was stolen.” Too bad that flimflammery is going to doom him in court.
@Rich Sackett Tbh its all they ever had apart from links to YouTube videos of OAN and the likes.
He’s willing to sit for a deposition for the frivolous lawsuit. He needs to focus on the fraud case against his business. His parents really created a monster.
X i have no idea what 🍄🥒🥜🍄🌰🍄
@Willy Bones There’s the story of hanging his friend out an upstairs window by his ankles.
His parents owned a brothel in Alaska what kind of “parents” do you think they were!
@Danie B His grandfather did that during the gold rush. And for leaving rather than do his military service, his German homeland actually renounced his citizenship. It’s also how he got the money together to start the Trump slumlord business in New York. It’s many generations deep at this point. Amazing bunch of sociopaths!
@Jo W. I wouldn’t call trump supporters monsters.. they are more like gremlins
Fund Raising… A nice way to say “let’s keep fleecing these saps.”
@Donna Brockbank WHERE IS THERE SUPPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH? YOUR COMMENT GOT PRINTED…YOU SEEM TO HAVE FREE SPEECH..WHO DOESN’T? LIES ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER? DO NOT WORRY, AS SOON AS DUMP, GETS IN FRONT OF A COURT UNDER OATH, HIS LIES WILL SEND HIM STRAIGHT TO JAIL, HE WILL NOT PASS GO, OR RECEIVE $200…LMFAO
@piaggiotech sadly, you can’t leave his fundraising sites as they automatically opt you in to multiple payments!
@Donna Brockbank no suppression of free speech here. The cases will be booted out. He was kicked off the sites for fomenting violence, like anyone else would be if they did it, and he was cut many more breaks, being prez.
@Donna Brockbank hate speech and incitement to riot is not protected speech under the 1st amendment. Also, many businesses have signs like, we reserve the right to refuse business to anyone who violates our policies or even more simply, no shirt, no shoes, no service. ( I have, however always wondered if that meant pants were optional?)
@Donna Brockbank Your mother telling you to be quiet doesn’t violate your first amendment rights. Neither does a PRIVATE company enforcing its terms of service. These companies are NOT the government.
If you don’t like their policies you are free to leave their platforms, use another platform or even start your own just like any other red-blooded American entrepreneur.
Or are you a Communist who supports the government controlling how every private enterprise operates?
Remember: HYPOCRISY is a STENCH in the nostrils of The Father.
He always says he “looks forward to”. …. Like showing his taxes. It’s his schtick
He has scripts for different cons.
He also says “a lot of people are saying”. The number 1 critic of anonymous sources says people are saying. And the cult can’t see the difference.
That was also a lie
Mother Jones the video trump does not want anyone to see
Just like that awesome healthcare plan that’s just 2 weeks away. It comes out the same day mexico gives a giant cheque to pay for the finished border wall!!
Fundraising = Stealing from his followers
@bubity100
File criminal charges on Trump and see what happens.
He better not send me another fundraising email. I will send him back telling him that I will never donate not even a penny.
@Ralph Padilla they will soon.
Not stealing from his followers. Followers just 100 % stupid. Blame you educational system!
@wraith3845 Did they scam their supporters?
How can a President be acting in his capacity when inciting a riot?
@El Ram Teflon Don……
@Tom
Sadly, yes – that is a possibility.
He will find lawyers to instill reasonable doubt. 1% doubt and he thinks he can skate again.
Riot?
you are all hypocrites.
but see only what you want. 😴
@Tech Park Riot?!!! Where?? What about Hillary?? And the laptop?? You all should take your meds!!!
I’ve never seen an innocent man try so hard to withhold exoneration evidence and refuse to have his day in court. Typically, when someone has evidence of their innocence, they provide it. Trump witholds, deflects, undermines, ridicules. Also saying you’ve been under audit for more than a decade doesn’t make you look good.
Yeah,it’s like these people trying to STOP audits in states are ridiculously showing their fear!!!! And we ALL need to be vaxxed so no one can work without it, or go to school because our gov. Says so !!!!🙃🙃🙃🙃
@Kathy Hyden lol, you must be a troll, if you are not, i pity you …. no one should be that stupid …..
@Kathy Hyden calm down karen
@Kathy Hyden Try this one out…. So if people were told NOT to wear a mask, these same people would then wear a mask???? If the same people still don’t wear a mask – btw, they wouldn’t – then it’s not about who’s teliing them. They’re just jerks.
@Kathy Hyden on the audits. You make it sound like these states didn’t already do their own recounts. Check which party is in control in all these states. THE GOP!! One more tidbit. So the ballots also have candidates for Senate and House State and National. So by your logic, GOP shouldn’t have taken their seats also? MICROPHONE DROP! Peace OOT! (Peace out w/ Canadian accent)
we need a class action suit to stop him from holding rallies that are solely about fund raising to pay his personal bills. he needs to go to court for misuse of funding money masked as campaign funding.
Most people learn to read and write in America.
This is called “democrat illiteracy”
Hillary said the basic democrat voter is stupid.
Preach they do need to stop him from doing these rallies enough is enough but they also need to charge him for keeping the big lie going
@Donna Davis is a Wuhan democrat Chinese Communist party asset
“Fundraising” is an euphemism for pulling a con in this context.
@Larry Robbs Spoken like a true incel. 😉
@Larry Robbs Nice attempt at deflection. It’s cute.
@Howard Moon you’d know too well pal. The Left are brilliant at it
@Larry Robbs So you immediately assume I’m on “the left”? Hate to burst your bubble, but nothing could be further from the truth.
@Howard Moon sounds cute. Nice try Howie
Why dont they lock up the former guy ? How much proof of crimes do they need !
He could shoot somebody in Times Square.
Oh yeah and the frumpie campaign was forceably deducting their followers bank accounts for lots of money!..its a known FACT. One older senior was literally shocked and crying they cleaned out his account! SHAMEFUL. But that’s what you get for following a criminal.
At least one would help!!!!
@L Dean – OMG!!! More BS from the house of MSDNC. Let’s rejog your memory.🐏🐏
MSDNC 2018 – Mike Avenatti is a beast and a prospective Presidential candidate. Every time he speaks he makes Trump quiver in his pants
MSDNC 2021 (Crickets) – Mike Avenatti sentenced to 30 months of prison after crying like a baby begging the judge to reduce his sentence from 9 years.
@Jehovah Witness heheh. Your persuasive tactics do not work on the educated mind
He’s trying to take the blame from Babit off his conscious. A BSer through and through
Trump has never shown that he has a conscience about anything.
This is why we’ve been lead by crazy people.
And somehow we survived the trauma and BS of four years of this guy. His ridiculousness is so obvious.
Trump, Guilliani, and O’Reilly. America’s A Team.
SHARKS GOTTA SWIM, BATS GOTTA FLY, GRIFTERS GOTTA GRIFT.
DEMOCRATS HAVE TO CHEAT
@AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL I think you missed the pattern. Each example uses “gotta” and not “have to”.
And some people need a diaper change multiple times a day.
Yeah, put the conman in a legal deposition and let him lie his head off.
That would be in CA , when thats the state you have to sue FB , twitter and Google , thats where the HQs are .
But real reason for his lawsuit is to scam more money from his supporters , for court battle … wonder how many times they will believe him ?
Want to see one now, the one Trump doesn’t want anyone to see. He robbed $50 million trump University was fined $25 million. He still made $25million. Mother Jones Trump being questioned. Best wishes
Can’t wait the movie The Greatest Con There’s Ever Been by Oliver Stone.
In a civil case 0 and in a criminal case he would take the 5th. Rudy getting 1 million Trump cult members to sign an online ‘I saw illegal ballots’ petition, is not the same as naming 0 names in court at his dozen cases when given the opportunity.
He always looks forward to testifying until he gets asked to testify. Then he shields himself with lawyers.
Please. Trump is just preposterous. As if his lawyers would ever allow him to participate in discovery, where prosecutors can lawfully demand and receive as of right and without exception, all manner of documents and information from Trump, a lot of which I’m sure his interests would not like to see the light of day.
Edit: Good, they touched on the discovery aspect of this case while I was typing this.
He is filing lawsuits in order to ‘fundraise’ in order to pay for his other losing lawsuits.
Yes the begging letters and e-mails were sent out immediately, just another con from the conman.
Sounds like a lose-lose situation to me.
HE is the ONE who committed FRAUD, that’s why he’s so adamant about calling fraud on everyone else. That’s how he got to be 45. C’monnn get a clue.
BUT HER EMAILS. AND TRUMP’S ANOINTING. AND JESUS. AND SATAN. AND THE CHILDREN. AND THE CHILDREN’S EMAILS. AND THE CHILDREN’S LAPTOPS.
