Appeals court deals setback to Trump in fraud suit

Franklin, File/AP PhotoA federal appeals court has rejected an attempt by former President Donald Trump and three of his children to force arbitration in a class-action lawsuit accusing him of fraud during the decade he spent as a pitchman for ACN, a business services company featured on “Celebrity Apprentice.

A federal lawsuit filed against the Trumps and their company in 2018 accused the real estate tycoon of repeatedly making false public claims about ACN and failing to disclose that he was paid millions of dollars to endorse the multilevel marketing company. The plaintiffs in the suit say they signed up to sell ACN’s services and paid significant sums of money for the opportunity but saw virtually no income.

The 3-0 decision from the 2nd Circuit said that third parties can sometimes avail themselves of arbitration, which is generally seen as friendlier to large businesses than the courts, but that Trump’s role here did not call for applying the arbitration clause to cover him, his children or his company.

Indeed, the contracts signed by those who agreed to market for ACN said that the agreement was only with ACN and not any of its service providers or “other party with whom ACN transacts or contracts business.”

Trummpy hasn’t seen Nothing Yet‼️‼️‼️ Rejection will become his first and Last name‼️‼️

Doesn’t Trump ever get tired of losing?

I just want a time-frame when we can expect him in cuffs

Trumpers look at this shit and still think hes legit

We nearly lost our democracy over a crime syndicate operating out of the White House that would retain its prosecutorial immunity at all cost. Trump must be held accountable.
