Ex-federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner predicted on Saturday that former President Donald Trump's New York legal team's challenging start is not "going to get any better."
Trump's legal team appeared for a contentious hearing in New York Attorney General Letitia James' case into the former president's business dealings this week. During that hearing, Judge Arthur Engoron voiced frustration with what he viewed as Trump's attorneys' "borderline frivolous" arguments and warned that he would consider sanctions against the legal team.
The hearing is apart of James' lawsuit alleging that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to obtain benefits such as better bank loans and reduced tax bills between 2011 and 2021. The case is set to go to trial on October 2 and is one of several legal battles the former president is set to face in the coming months. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in the case, accusing James of targeting him for political purposes. Meanwhile, the former president is also a candidate in the 2024 Republican primary election, hoping to take on President Joe Biden next November.

..."Trump's spokespersons have previously rejected Kirschner's legal analysis, previously saying in a statement to Newsweek that Kirschner is "a notorious trafficker of wild conspiracy theories and dubious legal analysis" claiming he "has been shunned by the legal community at large."
James is seeking a payment of up to $250 million, as well as for Trump and two of his children, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, to be barred from running business operations in the state of New York. The former president's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, was dismissed from James' lawsuit in June due to the statute of limitations for most of the allegations against her."
