Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:
- Responding to New York Judge Arthur F. Engoron’s civil fraud trial decision, former President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social: “A Crooked New York State Judge, working with a totally Corrupt Attorney General who ran on the basis of “I will get Trump,” before knowing anything about me or my company, has just fined me $355 Million based on nothing other than having built a GREAT COMPANY. ELECTION INTERFERENCE. WITCH HUNT.”
- In an editorial written for National Review last November, former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew C. McCarthy wrote of Donald Trump’s civil fraud case: “Banks are in the loan business to make money. They are heavily regulated and have shareholders to answer to. If a bunch of them had been collectively bilked out of $168 million, don’t you imagine there would have been a lawsuit or ten? It’s an amazing thing to watch: Donald Trump, front-runner in the Republican presidential nomination race, is on trial for supposedly inventing wealth that he didn’t have; and in order to nail him, elected Democrats [Letitia] James and Arthur Engoron are inventing losses that no one ever suffered.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/11/elected-dem-ag-and-judge-cook-up-a-fraud-theory-in-trumps-new-york-trial/
- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz reacted to testimony in Thursday’s hearing to determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the Georgia election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump. Dershowitz explained that it is possible that Willis committed perjury. Meanwhile, during a CNN panel, lawyer Jeffrey Toobin said “so what” if Willis and lead prosecutor of the case Nathan Wade had a relationship.
- Zack Smith—Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss New York Judge Arthur F. Engoron’s decision to fine former President Donald Trump $354 million and barring him from conducting business in New York for three years for inflating the value of assets controlled by the Trump Organization in past financial statements.

| 1:29.1 | were no victims. There were no victims. None. Nobody came forward to complain. This action was brought by the state of New York. They had no basis to charge him with a criminal case, so they used this ridiculous statute |
| 1:46.8 | and a civil statute which says we don't have to prove you have the intent to defraud |
| 1:52.2 | We don't even have to prove that anybody was |
