His team is obviously trying not to let him make more of an ass of himself. This is usually the turn in a trial where the defense starts sniffing out a deal, but I see zero chance of that being agreed upon by the protectors here. They know they’re destroying the defense and will refuse to compromise. I also doubt Trump’s narcissism would allow him to admit any kind of guilt.
Sure there are. You can have a plea agreement at any time, but it is at the judges discretion in either case. The venue doesn’t matter. I just don’t the prosecution bothering to compromise because they’ve an airtight case.
The Judge has already stipulated there was fraud. This bench trial is too establish the amount of the penalty. The prosecutor’s ask is a minimum of $250 million, but the judge can move that number anywhere he wants. There is no deal available. His guilt is already stipulated
Eh, they’ve already established fraud, but there are like 6 other charges that haven’t been decided yet. This trial is for the other charges plus the fines. Which will be appealed on every possible level.

Totally not true.
Since the judge already stipulated that the fraud was committed, what will deal be about?
You don’t know what you’re talking about. The judge made a finding. Stipulating to things means an agreement by the parties.
Trump can settle with the state of NY at any time, if NY wants to settle.
No. He stipulated to a fact of fraud.
Good news though. You are qualified to be Trumps lawyer. Sorry about the paycheck.
You’re not even using these words correctly
Bwhahahahaha
Im just saying deal or no deal has nothing to do with it being a bench trial
Not sure why this is so downvoted. You’re absolutely correct.
Sadly, that’s probably the truth. Would have been nice to see him jumping into the “I blatantly lied under oath” pool at full speed.
This is really bad. Think af all the tanking popcorn futures…
