The new year could be off to a rough start for Donald Trump.
The former president is facing $250 million in penalties and a ban on doing business in New York when the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial delivers a verdict in the case later in January.
The Manhattan Supreme Court trial — which has been on hiatus since Dec. 13 — is set to resume with closing arguments on Jan. 11, and Justice Arthur Engoron has said he hopes to have a decision in the non-jury case by the end of the month.
I’m guessing not, especially with half his empire in administration. I wonder if Trump is already secretly in talks to flog some of his other properties like his golf courses. I’m sure Scotland and Ireland would be glad to see the back of his malign presence.
