Former President Donald Trump is facing an ever-growing list of legal challenges. In today’s episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains why the civil lawsuit filed by New York's attorney general against him and his three eldest children is different from the rest.

Why this New York lawsuit is really going to anger Donald Trump
by Chris Cillizza
Donald Trump is not big on loyalty to anyone else — with one major exception.
When it comes to his immediate family — especially his adult children — Trump is uncharacteristically loyal, demonstrating a fatherly pride and protectiveness that he shows to no one else in life.
"I have a lot of good relationships," Trump has said. "I have good enemies, too, which is okay. But I think more of my family than others."
In all of his endeavors — from his real estate business to his reality TV empire to his White House tenure — Trump has installed his children as his deputies, a clear signal that he only really trusts the people who are related to him by blood.

Do you think this lawsuit will have a different impact on Trump?

The hilarious part is that if Trump hadn’t gotten into politics he probably never would have seen any consequences for his business practices. He’d just be that wacky New York billionaire from TV.
@Connie B Jan 6th vs 2020 riots… yea there is definitely a double standard and the left runs the show!
And we’d never know just how pathetically weak and broken the libs are…. Good thing he did huh….🤡
@Bob Cob Why, do you actually believe it is political?
Basically, anyone sticking their head up and making noise, will get noticed and will get investigated, and eventually will get caught. Take the darkweb underground markets, if you have a low profile, you will get away with it and make a good living no matter how illegal it is. However, if you start making lots of brash statements and advertising yourself, then you will get investigated and get caught,
That is not political, that is just life. I sure you understand that.
… or just bat-crap crazy.
What business practices? You mean treating every employee equally and giving them raises? How horrible (sarcasm).

She’s a partisan hack.
@The TruthHurts what you’re not enjoying the trickle down?
@The TruthHurts I am doing great thankyou, I suggest you get a better paid job.
@The TruthHurts grow up. Inflation is not Biden’s fault. It’s a WORLDWIDE problem ffs.
Democrats will make you die in stagflation economy. Greenspan era inflation hit 4%, He had to hike FED FUND RATE TO 6% to curb inflation. This round must hike FED FUND RATE TO AT LEAST 12-13% TO CURB INFLATION. Mortgage rate will go up to 10%!!! HAHAHA.
Letitia James when Trump tried to settle: “It’s a deal I CAN refuse”
He doesn’t have the money to settle.
Delay is his go-to position.
@TV Dinner NYAG is going after all the money. Hope she gets into that 2 billion Jared got from MBS. Hope the IQ45 crime family enjoys many hours in court together. The Republicans in Congress broke their oath by not voting to impeach, and not voting to convict. 45 days until midterms, hold them accountable and fire those that enabled Criminal-1.
In the past when trump’s been caught red handed committing crimes (like 70s with discriminatory housing practices) he was able to pay a small fine and walk away with no admission of guilt. I’m sure he also paid a few people off as well. But not this time 😊
Settle? He offered $25 Million… According to Cohen, James will be looking for $750 million to $1 Billion

“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

“There’s no dumpster dirty enough that he won’t play in to get himself out of liability.”
Wow. Micheal Cohen nailed it right there within the first 55 seconds of this interview.
As if we couldn’t think of that….. cohen is a criminal. Plain and simple
@LuckyNoLucky cope
@LuckyNoLucky Biden is an old man but Trump is ranked as the second worst President in American history by Presidential historians and scholars.

Cohen….the NEW hero for the left. Why? Cause he hates Trump now. Imagine now loving a guy who’s life is to now talk and profit off of Trump. Sad
If she didn’t have a case, why did he plead the fifth amendment 440 times? 😊
@Nika D God he is so silent. The smartest man with the best memory
@Mr American you actually believe anything this sociopathic, grifter says? Just curious.
@Denny DT Merica.
@Devo curious what part of Merica you are from and what your level of intelligence is? Trumpets have bought the Grift so well.
@Adrien Bancroft cant handle the truth? She even states it herself.
Trump threw Michael Cohen under the bus and Cohen is determined to make sure Trump never forgets it.
@WaffleEBay12 how sad.
@Jao Bidan I inform myself on candidates in my elections and not all the lawyers of the 3,500 different lawsuits Trump is and has been in.
@WaffleEBay12 Was he not the guy with allot of media attention and polling the highest to run for president under democrats?
@Devo What I’m seeing is that he was Stormy Daniel’s attorney and has since been found guilty of extortion. Maybe at one time he was going to run for something, but I don’t remember him being a big name for Dems.
Anyway you wanna spin it honey 😂 Didn’t you bozo’s on the left HATE Cohen? Now you don’t huh? 🙄 You switch your positions at any instance of someone who’s new life is to talk about Trump and that his existence. Sad, but more sad you now follow this guy like the Trump deranged cult you are a part of. Smh
Its not love or trust, its just the people he can punish by striking them out of his will.
Ouch !
Not wrong though !!
Except if he strikes them out of his will the state will get everything since there would be no one else to will it to.
They were brainwashed/psychologically conditioned since childhood to value him more than they value themselves. Daddy’s little robots.
He’s just going say people shouldn’t have been so stupid to believe him and give him loans. And he’ll say he was audited by irs and he would have paid more taxes if they asked him.
It wouldn’t matter if he said that. You still sign contracts and legal documents. They ALL have disclaimers about lying and misrepresenting. He is not going to win.
he actually did put “they should have known better” as a defense. smh.
I miss the old “We make the point episodes every Tuesday & Thursdays, check them all out”. Thanks Chris.
He can easily control the actions of his children, it’s not loyalty. They want the money and power when he dies.
SUSTAINED MY FRIEND!
I think I the kids are just afraid of daddy.
@David Guelette course, afraid of losing out on the money.
@Scott Krater I’m sure that also.

Trump can declassify documents with his mind, I would be careful. He’s got mind powers.
heard every president can do that and joe have already reclassified the documents the day he become president.
He’s got a mine problem. Not mind.

It also needs to be noted that his three oldest, and his youngest child were all born “Anchor Babies” for their mother as at the time of their birth, their mother was a “Resident Alien” in the process of getting her citizenship.
Ol’ donnie dodger brought what’s her names parents over too while he was prez. ( Don’t know if he did the same for Ivana’s family or not) I’m convinced that was the only reason she married such an old fat man.
At least she did it the legal way, what’s your point?

You have a brilliant presentation, all the inflections and straight talk-I appreciate it all! And I LOVE your graphics! You now how to keep our attention! Well done!!! 🤩
“We got him now! And THIS time, we mean it!”
Your description of Don Jr. as “vehement” is actually code for, “Blasted out of his mind by high-quality party drugs – just like Daddy.”
