Trump Goes Under Oath For First Time Since His Presidency - The Last Word - MSNBC



The attorney for Mary Trump says the dam is breaking for defendant Donald Trump, who hasn’t faced legal deposition since becoming president. “President Trump is no longer President Trump even though he keeps pretending that he is, and he’s going to have to testify in these cases,” says Theodore Boutrous, who will question Donald Trump in his lawsuit against his niece, Mary Trump. Aired on 10/18/2021.

And, of course, the first act is calling out TFG for his election lies!

Said Trump answered questions as we expected him to.

Mary Trump and her family should win. Honestly not just Trump, but his sister, Mary Anne, the judge who helped create all those fake companies set up to steal the Father’s company.

I'm not finished with the second one, but it's the first one that goes into all the family history - and her uncle committed countless financial transgressions, I'm surprised that after the 2018 New York Times article (the one he is just now suing Mary Trump over), he was still walking free. And he not only cheated Mary and her brother over any inheritance from their grandfather, but he tried to shut his 3 remaining siblings out, too, he wanted and needed every cent for himself.

The bottom line is that he's a terrible "businessman," he couldn't even make money when he ran casinos even though his father tried bailing him out (and got into trouble for it). It's no wonder he's still looking for "campaign contributions," he's tried and failed at everything else.

Not the second. I can not wait to hear how Trump handles this one. The Judge should have to testify, too.

that he's smarter than any lawyer, judge, or jury, and that they're in awe of his magnificence.

"Only I can fix it!" And it's going to take President Biden and more than one successor to clean up the horrific mess he left. Though the Biden administration has done a stellar job with the vaccine and mending fences with allies, there's still a long way to go thanks to those in Congress and in states (and TFG's delusional "followers" ) who are happy to prolong the pandemic and keep those who disagree with them from voting...
