Trump’s lawyer does not want to talk about the Buffalo Bills anymore
While some sports fans might enjoy this detour, Trump’s lawyer Chris Kise has not. Kise is objecting to the prosecutors line of argument. They recently showed a document that stated Trump wanted to buy the Bills for $1 billion, and had a net worth “in excess” of $8 billion at the time.
Kise wonders “what relevance… is being established by this? Because on its face there’s nothing to indicate President Trump didn’t have the financial ability to buy the Bills,” he said. Trump never bought the Bills, and no transaction was completed. “This is the danger of these hypothetical transactions,” Kise, said, later adding, “I don’t see how this exhibit is evidence of fraud”.
The prosecutor argues the document is proof Trump lied about his worth. “Because fraud was not fully perpetrated” does not mean it was not relevant, the prosecutor says.
