Former President Donald Trump is on the brink of financial ruin as he grapples with legal troubles that could force him to sell off his assets, according to legal expert George Conway.
Trump, who continues to protest his innocence in the face of four indictments and a gag order in his New York business fraud case, may be facing the collapse of his family’s business empire. The case alleges that Trump and his adult sons manipulated their business assets’ value for personal financial gain. A judge has already ruled in favor of fraud, and the trial is ongoing to determine the extent of the damages. Prosecutors are seeking $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump and his sons running businesses in New York, which Conway believes would be a severe blow to Trump’s enterprises.
Conway, a prominent Trump critic, expressed his concerns on MSNBC, saying, He’s making mistakes. He’s babbling incoherently even more than usual. This is striking. He was the mogul with ‘The Apprentice,’ and he’s been that in New York for 50 years. And now it’s coming crashing down.
Conway predicts that the trial’s outcome could lead to Trump having to liquidate everything, including properties like his luxurious Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, which are owned by New York LLCs. Losing business licenses, especially in New York, would severely hamper Trump’s ability to continue his business ventures.
Conway explained, He’s already been found to have committed fraud, that his books and records, that his statements of financial condition are false. And the judge has already ruled that there was no triable issue of fact on whether or not they were false. And as a result, the judge said– ordered that Trump and the Trump Organization, the ability to do business in the state of New York should be invalidated.
This situation could result in Trump having to liquidate his assets, including properties owned by New York LLCs, with the proceeds potentially going to the state of New York. It’s a potential death blow to Trump’s businesses.
