The most serious trouble Donald Trump faces may be in his former home town

DONALD TRUMP has spent the two months since his electoral defeat furiously trying and consistently failing to overturn the results. Armchair psychiatrists claim that Mr Trump’s lifelong fear of being seen as a loser has inspired his battle against democracy. But another motive is possible: at the stroke of noon on January 20th, the legal shield that Mr Trump has wielded to stave off lawsuits will vanish, exposing him to an abundance of civil and criminal legal peril.

Karen McDougal, to prevent revelations of extramarital dalliances that could have dented his presidential run. Mr Vance seems ready to pounce when, as court-watchers expect, the Supreme Court finally dismisses the appeal. Some observers think that dismissal could come just as Mr Trump is leaving town. The ramifications could be serious for Mr Trump as he reprises his role as private citizen: Mr Vance’s office has suggested the investigation may range significantly more broadly than just pay-offs. A task-force is ready to sort through reams of documents that Mazars could send over within weeks.

More civil lawsuits are pending in New York, including claims from E. Jean Carroll, a former columnist, and Summer Zervos, a contestant on “The Apprentice”, Mr Trump’s hit television show. Ms Carroll wrote in 2019 that Mr Trump raped her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store; Ms Zervos said he sexually harassed her on set. Both hit the president with defamation lawsuits when he called them liars.

The basis of Mr Trump’s impeachment last week—instigating the Capitol insurrection—may implicate District of Columbia law, too, as well as a federal criminal statute. Persuading someone to use “

His tax returns were probably fake anyway.

E,

Confabulation of Mass Media headquarters: General Staff asks us to advance against Trump. Therefore, You, The Economist, our cavalry on the right flank, attack the archers on the left flank of the former President...

They lie,one half fables and conspires, we must continue with the lie that brought out the president

Yet Hunter Biden operates unfettered.

The fact that Trump's refusal to release his tax returns made it to the SC is a disgrace. He's dragging the US through a field of pig-muck of his own making.

Every Patriot in America needs to protect President Trump. God Bless the Best President America has ever had.

This is the moment I've been waiting for ... for 5 years.

This reminds me of the russian collusion hoax. We were promised big things by the media and dems, then nothing...will it be a repeat?...🤔

Wonderful.

DefundFASCISTS BANKRUPTtheTRUMPS and ALL who supported them. Accountability is key! No GOP walk backs allowed. 😠

You would think with all the 💩talk he would just show his penny jar 🤣

Nonsense. Not publishing tax returns to the media isn’t a crime. The IRS already know what they need to know.

May

The president who kept promising to disclose his tax return and his healthcare bill plan never did both of them until the end of his presidency.

😅🤣😂👍👍👍👍👍

Don't take subscription. Most worst magazine and there service. Give me my money back Outlookindia

I've seen some very shady looking things from this president, and some very serious conflicts of interest. I think part of his detail should be a continuous monitoring to ensure he does nothing to hurt America, and that he did nothing in office to benefit him personally after.

If I was worth billions & had to choose between being a powerfull president of a democracy but risk public scrutiny or remain a private citizen to keep my financial activity on the down low. I'd go for the latter.

Any fair-minded critical thinker should care more about how politicians increase their net worth while IN office rather than BEFORE they enter office.

Lets see the real picture of his TAX!

Someone’s unlawful life and business practices are about to come apart at the seams for the world to see. He also fought assiduously to stay in power against the majority of a country’s wishes for a job he “loses money to do” or “does for free” Don’t be naive, the mans crooked

This must be satire... Hunter Biden...?

Hip, Hip!

Good

He will recover money losses in no time, with deals made based on his tenure as POTUS. His ghost-writers already have 3 books for print. Not The Apprentice but a new Serie is in the making. A partnership with Jared in Middle East & Manhattan construction will bring a fortune

We all 🇺🇸 is going to regret lose trump

The Con man has a lot to hide...

CheriJacobus I suspect we'll find an extensive network of some of the sloppiest money laundering since before the mob left Vegas.

Lock him up POTUS

They'll be found wanting

Did not all this is just a game

I can’t wait, I’m so excited.

Let the legal GAMES begin for Donald Trump.

Can we examine Biden's son? Fake news

First up - publishing/disclosure of his last 10 years of tax returns.

It's going down. I can't wait because then those who defend him will have to cone to terms with what those documents reveal. Not gonna be pretty. Sad thing is... I think some may still defend him.

Can't wait for his Bankruptcy.

Enough with distractions let’s talk about Biden’s policies

thanks

😬

If?...lol...the problem is Trump is 74 years old, he has lived many different lives that were all in the spotlight and now all of a sudden after becoming president and creating enemies of democratic prosecutors who have political ambitions claim he cheated on taxes...why now? 🤔

Fake news

Time tells

Swell guy, that Donald 😎 can’t imagine anyone - who deserves it more

There seems to be much hype and predictions as to what will happen on Wednesday afternoon whne Donald Trump is no longer President of the USA. Personally I think it is just hype, I would be surprised if anything comes of any attempt to prosecute him, very surprised.

“If evidence is found”. Click bait garbage from a once reputable newspaper

Donny Capone! Bye bye

sure

Where is Mitch McConnel

Just realized there hasn't been instructions as to where the truck is supposed to bring stuff to🤔

Why was Trump banned?
