Trump is ‘toast’ in New York fraud trial, says former Watergate prosecutor

Donald Trump is “toast” in the civil fraud trial involving his business empire and put himself in an incredibly bad position when he agreed to testify in person after previously invoking his fifth amendment rights against self-incrimination, Nick Akerman, a former Watergate prosecutor, told CNN on Wednesday.

“Basically at this point, Donald Trump is toast,” said Akerman, who was an assistant special prosecutor on the 1970s team that investigated President Richard Nixon and top aides for their involvement in the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel and subsequent revelation of other nefarious political activities. “I mean he is basically going to be found to be a liar by the judge.”

trump's problem is he loses on the facts. The facts he represented as true are in fact lies. he could claim the facts are not material, but he was apparently too stupid to do that. Instead, he has claimed that the facts led to subjective opinions that could be disputed... But again, that does not change he lied on the facts, so loses the case.
